Maybe I should say 'subset' rather than 'subclass', so that I'm not confusing
OO terminology with ordinary logic.

This is what I'm trying to saying in logical terms:

  The Overflow way:

      'Documents' contain networks
      Networks are of types subnet and iterator
      Networks contain nodes and links

  But can't we say...

      Nodes contain links and networks
      Networks are of types subnet and iterator
      Networks contain nodes
      Nodes contain links and networks
      ...
