[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] A clear definition of "children feature" and its use cases?

Hi all!

I have gone through some posts (if not all) that speak about "children feature", I read the note in the GMF tutorial but I am still not understanding completly.

They say it's for specify "where children are taken from". Sorry, but children in a graphical meaning or semantic ? What does it mean taken from (from where they are stored = containment)? It seems to be created to do a derived association, am I right?

Adding on that that the use case they give as an example is very specific.
Does someone have a clear definition of "children feature" and how to use it ?



Thanks in advance.
