FxStructureOption	getOption(java.lang.String key) Get an option entry for the given key, if the key is invalid or not found a FxStructureOption object will be returned with set set to false, overrideable set to false and value set to an empty String.
java.util.List<FxStructureOption>	getOptions() Get a (unmodifiable) list of all options set for this group
boolean	hasOption(java.lang.String key) Check if an option is set for the requested key
boolean	isReferenced() Is this element referenced? (=in use)
boolean	mayOverrideBaseMultiplicity() Indicate if assignments of this element may override the default multiplicity
