Hello Brian

Consider the following data

CLIENTS
client1
client2

PRODUCTS
product1
product2

CLIENTS_PRODUCTS
clientproduct1 client1 product1
clientproduct2 client2 product2

ORDERS
order1 client1

ORDERS_PRODUCTS
orderproduct1 order1 clientproduct2

It is exactly the situation I want to avoid. In ORDERS_PRODUCTS, I got a pair of client/product that does not belong to the client that placed order1. The integrity plan you proposed failed to discard this situation
