RE: FW: [psg.com #328] AutoReply: Containment Hierach an d entPhysical Containedin

Hi

Ok. I'll add a section that defines containment hierarchy and be done with
it. Or perhaps there is something in the Entity MIB I can point at.

While a containment hierarchy is transitive, I think when we are talking
about the states it can't really be for two reasons
	- Usage definitely can't be transitive
	- I think transitive starts getting into computed states, which we
have defined out of scope.

So this is not generally transitive? I like Dave Perkin's suggestion on this
issue.
