Step 3: Adding a dependency
4. Stereotype the dependency between Receiving and Purchasing as to
show that Receiving makes references to classes within Purchasing by adding them
into its own set of classes at run time. Figure 24-10 shows the addition of the
stereotype.

Step 4: Adding the dependency stereotype
5. Add the stereotype to the dependency between Shipping and
Receiving to show that Shipping needs to communicate with classes within
Receiving without actually making them part of the Shipping subsystem at run
time. Instead, the classes in the Shipping subsystem will make calls to one or more
classes in Receiving. Figure 24-11 places the stereotype on the dashed
dependency arrow between Shipping and Receiving.
