Many to One Relation

In many of the cases above, the relations are many-to-one (and maybe many-to-many) rather than one-to-one. For instance, a watch dial interactor might be bound to multiple abstractions: hour, minute, and second objects. A view object may do a relational join among multiple database table objects. A controller object may control several controlled objects. A peer may have a group of peers that are considered a single logical unit (e.g. budgets of the CB group).
