 +RESULT:
 +Asp does not see HashEntry creations caused by C@M1.
 +Asp sees HashEntry creations caused by C@M2, as well as the HashMap creation in C.

 +
 +symmetric case, beyond levels (topological scoping a la membranes)
 +<code>
 +module Prof {
 +  contains prof.*;
 +  advises Base, Racer;
 +}
 +
 +module Base {
 +  contains ...;
 +  exhibits Jps.Creations(..) : ...
 +  exhibits Jps.FieldAccesses(..) : ...
 +}
 +
 +module Racer {
 +  contains racer.*;
 +  advises Base;
 +  exhibits Jps.Creations(..) : ...
 +}
 +RESULT: Prof sees creations in both base and racer (not feasible with levels without reintroducing loops)
 +</code>
 +
 +now with transitive topological usage
 +
 +<code>
 +module Prof {
 +  advises M1;
 +}
 +
 +module M1 {
 +  contains D (that calls objects in M3)
 +  exhibits X;
 +  uses M3;
 +}
 +
 +module M2 {
 +  contains C (that calls objects in M3)
 +}
 +
 +module M3 {
 +  exhibits X;
 +}
 +RESULT: 
 +Usage of M2 does not trigger X jps visible by Prof. 
 +Instances of X in M3 are generated and seen by Prof only in the cflow of M1. 
 +(removing "uses M3" in M1 would avoid this)
