contain adds a class to the catalog (similar to what include does).
But contain handles the way where the class gets added.
Think about the following code:
class a {
include c
}
class b {
include c
}
node default {
include a
include b
Class[‘a’] -> Class[‘b’]
}
When does class c gets added to the catalog?
Class a and b are put into order. But class c is not added at a specific place
in the catalog.
This is where contain comes into place:
class a {
contain c
}
class b {
include c
}
node default {
include a
include b
Class[‘a’] -> Class[‘b’]
}
In this case the contain function ensures that the class c is added within
class a.
