I just finished reading Executable UML: How to build Class Models and am
ready to conquer the world, which is a really nice book btw.

I was wondering if we should be able to specify depedencies in a model. I
mean since every association is binary, every class depends on every class
on an analysis point of view.

I'm curious as how the Model compiler will decide which physical depedencies
should be created and which depedencies should be left out for the sake of
reusability ?

Is it done by coloring the model in order to indicate which parts need to be
reusable separatly and which aren't ?

+-------+1 0..* +-------+
| Client |------------------------------- | Loan |
+-------+ is Contracted By Contracts +-------+

Since Loan class represents a class that contains calculations for the loan
fees, amount, .... I'd like to make sure Loan can be reused without Client
since it would make sense in a financial calculator which does not represent
a client with a name, address, ....

So I figured out I need to represent this requirement in the model. But how
?

Thanks,
