5.9.2 Outputting element symbol
nesting

object’s or relationship’s symbol use:
containers
which answers the objects whose
representations contain the first (from back to front) representation of the
current object or relationship, in the oldest diagram representation of the
current graph. The elements are sorted by area (smallest first), then by normal
sorting order (type, id, oid).
Similarly, to output the objects contained in the current
object’s symbol use:
contents
The elements are sorted by area (largest
first), then by normal sorting order (type, id,
oid).
