Abstract

A method and system for representing a low-order connection and a high-order connection as a single circuit are disclosed. The method includes creating a low-order listener object and a low/high listener object at each end point of the low-order connection and creating a high-order listener object at each end point of the high-order connection. The low/high listener objects are matched with the high-order listener objects to create a link and represent the connections as a single circuit.
