SystemA
SystemB
CollectionD
CollectionE
CollectionF
If CollectionB is copied to CollectionF, the hierarchy would look like the following:
CollectionA
CollectionB
CollectionC
SystemA
SystemB
CollectionD
CollectionE
CollectionF
Copy of CollectionB
CollectionC
SystemA
SystemB
CollectionD
The new instance of CollectionB receives a new name, but its contents are copied directly. The
contents, CollectionC and CollectionD, are copied by reference. Both CollectionB and Copy of
CollectionB refer to the exact same instances of CollectionC and CollectionD.
Later, if SystemC is added to CollectionC, and SystemD is added to the original CollectionB, the result
would be that SystemC appears in both places, and SystemD appears only in one place, as follows:
CollectionA
CollectionB
CollectionC
SystemA
SystemB
SystemC
CollectionD
SystemD
Collection E
CollectionF
