Hi Stephan,
If I understand you correctly, you have an EClass called "Node" in your
metamodel, with two EReferences pointing to the Node class. What you could
do is go to the "child" reference in your Ecore model, and set the
EOpposite property to "parent". This way the two references will
practically become e single, bidirectional reference, and I think your GMF
editor will pick up this change after you re-generate all the code, and
set both values when you draw one single connection.
Hope that helps,
Zsolt

Hi Zsolt,
I always wondered what EOpposite is. Now I know :)
That solved my problem. You were also right in saying I only have to
re-generate the code. Great.
Thank you very much.
