UML24 — Issue on generalization

While looking over Use Cases for other changes, I realize that I’m not sure about how inheritance (generalization) works. It appears that only constraints and features are inherited. Features include structural and behavioral features, and structural features include associations.

This seems to exclude dependencies and other directed relationships and other potentially named elements in the namespace.

I must have something wrong, but this means that

· include and extends are not inherited;

· realizations are not inherited;

· nested qualifiers are not inherited;

· general dependencies are not inherited

Clause 9 is clear that it is members that are inherited. Include and extend are members. Dependencies (including
Realizations) are not inherited. Qualifiers are owned by Properties which are inherited.
