Hi Rob,
what you describe should really be no problem with GMF. Your metamodel
(ecore) should hold a class for the diagram (D), a class for the
container (C),a class for the objects, and optionally a class for the
links (L). In the GmfGraph you should have the figures for the container
and object, a compartment for the container, two nodes and a link. Now,
in the GmfMap, just create a top node mapping for the container nodes,
holding a compartment and another node mapping for the object nodes. Set
the references to the metamodel and the gmfgraph according to the GMF
tutorial, create the link mapping and the link constraint, and you
should be fine.
Regarding your last sentence I guess that the comparment's layout was
set to ListLayout, so you should check this in your gmfgen file. Maybe
that's all you need to change.

Hi Rob,
1) From what I can see, the ecore model looks fine.
2) I don't think it's necessary to define a layout in the gmfgraph (I
never did). Especially I'm a bit confused as you set FlowLayout to false
in the gmfgraph and then set the layout to flowLayout in the gmfgen...
3) In the GmfMap you should remove the TopNodeReference to Object, as
Top Node References always represent elements directly contained in the
diagram element (which, for Objects, is not the case). This also
explains the error.
4) in the gmfgen there is another attribute concerning the layout of a
compartment, though it is a bit hidden. Instead of setting the layout of
the viewmap you should look for the attribute 'ListLayout' (an attribute
- not a child - of the Compartment) and set the value to false.
Hope this helps,
Tobias
