This might be consistent with the idea of an abstract Class/Block, but it can make it hard to progressively analyse and debug/test hierarchies with correct abstractions.

[PATTERN]{INFORMATIVE} In the Webel recipe for UML/SysML, the pattern of progressive redefinition of end Properties of Associations between progressively more specialised pairs of Blocks at the same level of abstraction is informally called a "redefinition ladder"
