Dependee
A collection of items that are dependees of the Variation Point, including the following items:
• Artifacts (any model items) that are linked through Artifact Dependencies.

• Variation Points that are linked through Excludes Dependencies and Requires Dependencies (Dependency starts from the Variation Point).
Multiplicity is 0+, access is read/write.
Dependent
A collection of items that are dependents of the Variation Point, including the following items:
• Variants that are linked through Excludes Dependencies, Requires Dependencies and Variability Dependencies.
• Variation Points that are linked through Excludes Dependencies and Requires Dependencies (Dependency starts from the linked Variation Point).
Multiplicity is 0+, access is read/write.
