Well, the concept of RelatedObjAttributes is potentially powerfull enough to
represent any chains of relationships. But there are still some questions.
How can it be defined by an user? Should it be defined within the root
entity? Do we have to store information about attributes of the type in data
maps? Will it incorporate just a string like
"toDepartment.toCompany.toCEO.firstName" or an actual chain of
relationships? Will there be a predefined order of SQL joins a related
attribute is supposed to be resolved to or one will be able to control it
(order, I mean)?
