```
public interface GeneralOrdering
extends NamedElement
```
A representation of the model object 'General Ordering'. A general ordering represents a binary relation between two occurrence specifications, to describe that one occurrence specification must occur before the other in a valid trace. This mechanism provides the ability to define partial orders of occurrence cpecifications that may otherwise not have a specified order.
The following features are supported:
- Before
- After

- Method Detail
  - getBefore
```
OccurrenceSpecification getBefore()
```
    Returns the value of the 'Before' reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'To After'. The OccurrenceSpecification referenced comes before the OccurrenceSpecification referenced by after.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value of the 'Before' reference.
    
    See Also:
    
    setBefore(OccurrenceSpecification), UMLPackage.getGeneralOrdering_Before(), OccurrenceSpecification.getToAfters()
  - setBefore
```
void setBefore(OccurrenceSpecification value)
```
    Sets the value of the 'Before' reference.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the new value of the 'Before' reference.
    
    See Also:
    
    getBefore()
  - getAfter
```
OccurrenceSpecification getAfter()
```
    Returns the value of the 'After' reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'To Before'. The OccurrenceSpecification referenced comes after the OccurrenceSpecification referenced by before.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value of the 'After' reference.
    
    See Also:
    
    setAfter(OccurrenceSpecification), UMLPackage.getGeneralOrdering_After(), OccurrenceSpecification.getToBefores()
  - setAfter
```
void setAfter(OccurrenceSpecification value)
```
    Sets the value of the 'After' reference.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - the new value of the 'After' reference.
