	What you see is the illustration of a car and its components. Below the picture, the parts of the car are grouped together into functional units, for instance the ''cooling system'' and the ''the gas supply system''. These parts of the car can be viewed as objects in their own right which each belong to a type one might call ''car part''. The type ''cooling system'' might then be an immediate subtype of the type ''car part'' and might have ~~the~~ the types ''radiator'' and ''cooling fan'' as its own immediate subtypes.

	All this illustrates that objects which themselves belong to certain types may contain other objects as their parts and those objects again belong to one or more types!

	A maximal type is a type which has no subtypes. "Maximal" here means "maximally specific." Correspondingly, the types which so have subtypes are called non-maximal.

	Recall that the upper part of the picture represents types ordered from most general (the type ''vehicle''), to more specific (all the types in the second and third rows), and finally to most specific (the maximal types ''VolvoCar, FiatCar'', and ''FordCar''. All these types stand for classes of objects, with ''vehicle'' being the biggest class and the maximal types being the smallest.

	In contrast to the <span style="color: red>types</span>in the upper half of the picture, the three items below the dashed line do not stand for classes of objects, but to <span style="color: red>individual objects.</span> That is why the creator of the picture labeled the lower part of the picture ''members''.
