The AddSomething and GetSomething methods depend on the interface, not the unused nested class.
Hi, Thanks for looking further into the code !

You are correct that the class definition for 'ISomething1 is not used in the use-case example (it's a fossil from an earlier version), and I will delete that from the code posted here, thanks ! Sorry for any confusion that added.

Those two methods, by design, can only be accessed via an instance of 'OuterClass; while they use the public Interface, I don't see them as "dependent" in the usual sense of that term.

My hypothesis here is limited in scope: does this technique contribute to the encapsulation of the collections of Instances in the outer class that implement the Interface.

This code example is, by design, a terse example.

I also use generics in a way not shown in this example ... imho, does not need to be shown.

The "big picture," imho, is:

1) if you are managing collections of mixed Types (which requires use of Interface), where extensibility ... the user can create new Types that use the Interface ... is important ...

2) and, you want maximum encapsulation of those collections

3) what are good techniques ?

cheers, Bill
