It depends on how you interpret "within". The long answer is:
ABIE maps to UML class, which can have (UML) properties. These
properties can be:
- simple -> represented by BBIE -> linked to DataType;
- complex -> represented by ASBIE -> linked to ABIE;
So, ABIEs do not contain ABIEs directly. Instead, they contain
ASBIEs which are actually references to ABIEs. Similarly,
classes do not contain classes; they contain fields that are
typed after a primitive or another class.
