Not a simple straight forward listing -- the types of relationships  
is dynamic and can be created by our community at will. Thus any list  
that we would publish (and you would look at), could be out of date  
by the time you finish codifying it.

But, I realize that this is not a sufficient answer for you. I should  
implement a documentation page that lets you see what relationships  
are available for two given entities. If you enter an enhancement  
report in our bug tracker and assign it to me, I can see what I can do.

Sort of. It lets us capture more information, but its far from a  
comprehensive solution. This year we're going to focus on our next  
generation schema which will have comprehensive classical support.
