I’m posting this here so I’ll remember it, and because it’s one of those simple things that people in software development often forget.  A method of an object should invoke only the methods of the following kinds of
objects:

1. itself,
2. its parameters,
3. any objects it creates/instantiates;
4. its direct component objects.

I read about the Law of Demeter at javaguy.org
