>> Hey - that's exactly how PartyRelationships are set up

Sorry - i'm now getting confused. I put that PartyRelationship together:

a. is it right?
b. is it redundant to specify the inverse relationship explicitly?
c. Why is the application saying
"Party *Company* in role *Employer* is a *Employee* of party *10050* in
role *Salaried employee*"
(which of course is part of the general PartyManager functionality)?
