Re: Dumb (?) subclass question

Hi Chuck,

I can rule out to accidentially create duplicates. There is no way 
where this could happen.
And this reproducably happens for every single items() relationship I 
do on any arbitrary HEAD element.

In my EO subclass of ITEM, which is ITEM_E, I have entered the 
qualifier "(typ='E')" in the advanced entity inspector, with "typ" 
being a class property.

The idea is to have items() retrieve all ITEM elements, whereas 
item_es() only retrieve special ones.

Do I need to have a qualifier in the "ITEM" properties as well?

Greetings,

- Thomas
