fix
Ambiguous Containment
Indicates whether the object class has clearly defined containment classes. As a general rule, noneffective classes can be created with ambiguous containment, but effective classes must have nonambiguous containment. Ambiguous containment occures when an object inherits non-identical containment classes from different super classes.
Only in special cases can effective classes be created with ambiguous containment. The Alias class object is one of these special cases since it needs to inherit the containment classes of its reference object class.
For most object classes in the base schema, the Ambiguous Container flag is turned Off. It is turned On for object classes Top, Alias, and Partition.
Ambiguous Naming
Indicates whether the object class has clearly defined naming attributes. As a general rule, noneffective classes can be created with ambiguous naming, but effective classes must have nonambiguous naming attributes. Ambiguous naming occurs when an object inherits non-identical naming attributes from different super classes.
Only in special cases can effective classes be created with ambiguous naming. The Alias class object is one of these special cases since it needs to inherit the naming attributes of its reference object class.
For most object classes in the base schema, the Ambiguous Naming flag is turned Off. The only object classes where this flag is turned On are Top, Alias, and Partition.
