I have a question regarding the compile time relationships.

As per my understanding, when class A inherits class B OR
class A calls methods of class B, there exists a
compile time relationship between A and B.

Here, the CompA instantiates a class from CompB and it may call some
methods of that class. So, can we say there is a compile time
relationship between CompA and CompB?
