Jonathan: I am sorry, but I think you are totally wrong here =(
ok, you are right in that if we wanted to implement this *now* we would have 
to look into other diagrams to see what other associations a class has....

BUT (and that's a *big* BUT) Associations are NOT part of the diagrams, but of 
the models.
A Class inherits from another class, and a class is an agregate of another 
class.. you can show this in a diagram or not, but that doesnt change 
anything in the model.

the problem is that the code now is *completly* wrong here. The associations 
are implemented as if they were valid only for one diagram, but this is not 
the case.
I complained about this sine I first looked into the program and started 
writing the code generation framework (I think my original comments are now 
gone, but I wrote there that having to get the associations from the diagram 
was absurd to me, and that we were going to have problems if a class has 
different associations in different diagrams, and that the associations 
should be into the model itself.
