Abstract
Controlling how changes made to a version of a reusable component (e.g., for displaying in a graphical user interface) are applied, or not applied, to another version or versions of that component. A variation is defined, the variation comprising a set of overridden property values for the component. The variation is derived from a version of the component, and inherits property values from the version and also from its ancestors, if applicable. To reuse the component, the reuse may be derived from the variation, in which case the reuse inherits the overridden property values through the variation, provided the variation is turned on, and through the version from which the variation was derived if the variation is turned off. A particular variation may be turned on and off within an inheritance chain.
