The only necessary dependance is the <a href="XAccessible.html#getAccessibleContext()">getAccessibleContext()</a> function that returns the accessible context. This one-way link has to be persistant in some sense: As long as there is at least one reference to a specific <a href="XAccessibleContext.html">XAccessibleContext</a> object the <a href="XAccessible.html">XAccessible</a> object has to return the same context for every call to <a href="XAccessible.html#getAccessibleContext()">getAccessibleContext()</a>.
