&Hi Tim,
&
&The scope comparison is just on a set membership basis. i.e. 
&you will only 
&get a positive if there is an overlap between the topics in 
&the scope you 
&are testing against and the topics in the scope you are 
&testing with. The 
&comparison does not take account of class-instance or 
&subclass-superclass 
&relationships. While this is in line with the XTM 
&specification (and the 
&way that scope is used there), I think I can see why you might 
&want to use 
&a class-instance relationship (to say something like "if name 
&is scoped by 
&a language then...") - but to do that I think you will either have to
&a) Create a myScope that contains all the instances of TopicB
&b) Write your own test
&
&My guess is that in the general case, (b) is preferable to (a).
&
&Cheers,
&
&Kal
