<p>A team <code>T</code> which extends a super-team <code>S</code>
has one role class <code>T.R</code> corresponding to each role <code>S.R</code>
of the super-team.
The new type <code>T.R</code>&nbsp;<strong>overrides</strong>&nbsp;<code>R</code> for the
context of <code>T</code> and its roles.
Acquisition of role classes can either be direct (see (b) below), or
it may involve overriding and implicit inheritance ((c) below).
</p>
<div class="codecomment">In the above example (<a href="s1.html#l1.3.1-1" class="listing">Listing 1.3.1-1</a>) the team <code>S</code> operates
on types <code>S.R0</code>, <code>S.R1</code> and <code>S.R2</code>,
