Objects in a particular group need not be of the same type. Figure 4-16 displays the

Figure 4-16. Relationships of GROUP Names
GROUP can specify its members, or members can specify its group.
In an order-restricted relationship, a solid arrow line is used, and the
dependent name appears below the required name. Relationships shown
with dashed arrow lines are not order-restricted. The name from which
an arrow originates is specified in the definition of the name at the arrowhead.

The value of the MEMBERS attribute can be one or more names. The MEMBERS
attribute is automatically present once you add members to a group. If members are
not specified when adding a group, the group is empty (it has no members).
