Adding the service of a component(slave) to another component(master)

Hi all,
if I have a service provided by a component (a slave) can I add this
service to the interface of a master component?
I would like to do that to obtain a transparent master component that
can show in its interface some operations that I can do with the
slaves.

thanks for any hints

I think you are (implicitly) refering to the concept of "promotion" of a
selection of ("slave") "ports" from the "inside" of a component (the
"composite", or "master" in your terminology), to the "outside". This
feature is not yet supported _explicitly_ in the RTT model. But I guess
some developers have implementations that "work around" this lack of
primitive composition feature.
