Does Castor support both one-way and two-way relationships?

Typcially a relationship between two objects is either one-way (aka uni-directional) or two-way (aka bi-directional). Officially, Castor currently only supports bi-directional relationships. For example, if an Order object contains a reference to a LineItem object, the LineItem object must contain a reference to the Order object. However, this requirement is not enforced in all situations. This is a very complex problem to solve. So until Castor is expanded the support uni-directional relationships, the best policy is to implement the bi-directionalality for all relationships. This will ensure proper functionality.
