Issue 1460:  relationship_kind declaration issue (boca-rtf)

Summary: Summary: Section 2.2.4 (BOCA Meta-Model in CDL)
 
 Another issue with the relationship_kind declarations:  As mentioned above (issue 6), it is preferable to force 
 relationship declarations to specify their multiplicity.  
 
 Recommendation: Rather than declare default multiplicities for a relationship_kind, it would be better to 
 declare, as invariant rules, appropriate constraints on the multiplicity for each relationship_kind.

The syntax for declaring the keyword is used for all of the
relationship_kind declarations and differs from that 
used by BocaBusinessEntity, BocaBusinessProcess, BocaSubsystem,
BocaDependent, BocaCommand, 
and BocaApplianceKind.
