Interface HierarchicallyTyped<T extends HierarchicalType<T,I>,I extends HierarchicallyTyped<T,I>>

Type Parameters:
T - The HierarchicalType of the typing object
I - The type of the typed object
public interface HierarchicallyTyped<T extends HierarchicalType<T,I>,I extends HierarchicallyTyped<T,I>>
HierarchicallyTyped is the interface of objects that are of a HierarchicalType. Examples are Gtu (of type GtuType), Link (of type LinkType), and Detector (of type DetectorType). By making these objects HierarchicallyTyped, they can return their correct 'type' as well as check whether they belong to a certain hierarchical type.
