Hello,

I have a doubt on Composite pattern. Does a composite pattern have more
than one composite class ? If not, why? If so, what are the applications
that it contains ?

I feel that if we have two composite classes we will get into infinite
loop because one composite class will make a call to all the subclasses(of
component)operation and as it makes a call to other composite class
(one of the subclass of component) operation method it in turn make calls
to all other subclasses operation and so on. Is it correct ?
Looking forward for ur reply
