deferred class AbstractVariableInstance from Dynamic

	---Purpose: This class is the header class to define instances
	--          of variables.  There  are two kinds  of instances,
	--          These  are VariableInstance  which  addresses only
	--          one Variable and CompositVariableInstance which is
	--          able to address  more than one variable. This last
	--          class is useful for methods with a variable number
	--          of arguments.

    ---Purpose: This  deferred method must     be implemented in   the
    --          derived    classes for  setting    reference(s) to the
    --          corresponding variable(s)  which define the  signature
    --          of the method definition.
