I did not see a reply - so I am taking a stab at this....
 
ContainedDomain is a general association indicating that administrative
domains may be aggregated by multiple, other, "larger" domains.  For
example, the "East Coast" domain could aggregate all "state" domains
east of the Mississippi.  And, the "Democratic" domain could aggregate
all "state" domains that voted Democratic in the last election (sorry, a
very contrived example).  Similarly for policy containers, reusable
containers could be multiply aggregated into other "larger" containers,
that are defined with different semantics but that have overlapping
members.

Subject: [Policy] PCIMe: the aggregation ContainedDomain



The aggregation ContainedDomain includes: 
"GroupComponent[ref AdminDomain [0..n]]" 
IMO the cardinality should be "0..1" instead of "0...n". In other words:
A ReusablePolicyContainer can contain zero or more
ReusablePolicyContainer instances. A ReusablePolicyContainer can be a
root-level container (for the context) or it can be contained by one
single other ReusablePolicyContainer.
