Notes
Snippets (quotes/extracts)
  [SysML-1.6] Connectors with item flows can be decomposed by association blocks that have additional item flows. The relationship between an item flow and those in the association block is determined by the modeler.
  [SysML-1.6] Figures 9.16 and 9.17 are examples of item flow decomposition that modelers might choose, but they are not the only possible decompositions and are not required.
  [SysML-1.6] In Figure 9-17, the item flow classifier (Engine) composes the classifiers of the items flows in the decomposition from Figure 9-17.
  [SysML-1.6] The port types have an additional flow property that is not in the nested ports. These are for the flow of the engine, as opposed to its parts.
  [SysML-1.6] Constraints can be added between the flow properties for the engine and those for the parts, to indicate the flowing parts are inside the flowing engine, or are separate, for example as spare parts.
