Abstract
Quoting directly from [M1992], “There are only two ways to use a class [...]. One is to inherit from it; [...]. The other one is to become a client of [it].” Indeed, it is generally accepted that, in object-oriented software construction, there are two basic techniques for structuring systems. Inheritance allows us to reuse the behaviour of a class in the definition of new classes. Clientship, i.e. the ability to establish client/supplier relations between objects, provides, through feature calling, the basic mechanism of object-oriented computation.
