use_node semantics

Hello,
I am unsure about the semantics of the use_node keyword. Can the archetype branch that is attached at the place where use_node is mentioned be seen like when a preprocessor would paste the part of the referenced branch into the place where use_node is used ? In practice this could create problems when a recursive insertion of the referenced branch is inserted, but from a logical point of view is that interpretation correct ?
Is an archetype using use_node-branches equivalent to an archetypes in which the referenced branch have been explicitely pasted into the use_node places ?
Greetings
Georg

Hi Georg,

the documentation for use_node in ADL2 is here. It applies nearly the same for use_node in ADL1.4, which is specified here.
