Note, that our modeling engine (MGA) does not allow to create 
connections between arbitrary hierarchy levels (objects at the same 
level or only one level deeper can be connected). You will have to deal 
with this when you're building hierarchical state  diagrams.

This is a good idea, we have created the decorator interface for such 
enhancements. I've attached the source of our meta decorator, that 
implements similar things.

If you have problems/questions or a new decorator - which you'd like to 
share - do not hesitate to drop us a mail.
