• Description: Package that contains a subpackage By default, the repository objects of a superpackage are not visible to its subpackages. They can be made visible in exceptional cases, however ,if attribute "Visible for Subpackages" is activated explicitly for the interface of the superpackage. On the other hand, the content of the package interface of a subpackage is visible to, and can be used implicitly by, its direct superpackage. In particular, the direct superpackage can propagate individual repository objects or the entire package interface of its direct subpackages to its own package interface if this is not forbidden by an access control list. This means that the superpackage can expose the repository objects of its direct subpackages, thereby extending their visibility upwards.
