Relationship Manager Pattern

An interesting take on a Relationship Manager pattern. Having done something like this a couple times I'd have to say that it leads to crufty APIs over a period of time. As the relationships grow and become more complicated, the number of interactions grows and the RM becomes a festering rats nest all by itself.

If you do something like this, you need to refactor every time you make major architectural changes.
