I created a new use case diagram added a few use cases and then drew some include associations. However in the model explorer I found a recursive tree representation of all association ( at least 7 levels).

Hi,

this is neither an error nor an ill-formed model.

The recursive structure is a mere visual one due to the dynamic
ModelExplorer. In fact, what you're doing in the ModelExplorer is, you were
navigating from the Include metaclass instance over includingCase
association to the including UseCase instance (i.e., startEvolution). Then,
you were navigating via include association to the Include metaclass
instance, then you were navigating again the UseCase and so forth.

The ModelExplorer dynamically traverses the model; with dynamically, I mean,
it shows for each newly explored item in the tree the available
associations, but this is just a visual recursion, as said before. The model
itself is correct.

HTH,
Marc-Florian
