Navigating model in gmfmap definition [message #106995]

Given an EMF model that consists of A type which can contain many B type
which in turn can contain many C type, is it possible to define a diagram
(without changing the model) which will display instances of A as diagram
nodes, and instances of C as nodes contained in a sub compartment of A?
The problem here are instances of B which have no rendering, so the model
is effectively folded in its rendering. I've played about with "Child
Reference" but these seem to be one step only allowing the immediate child
of the parent being rendered (i.e. this would allow navigation to and then
rendering of B instances but not C instances).

Thanks,

James

James,

I think maybe https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=146535
reports the same issue.

Regards,
Linda
