Yes it does. My confusion I guess is on the wording of the class. By
calling it UMLClassifierList it makes me think its a list of
UMLClassfier elements. It does not say to me that they are lists to hold
elements that belong in side a UMLClassier. Why not have a Container
class which Lists inherits from. That way if you want to add different
types you can.
