That's something entirely different. The Finder application has an
object hierarchy with "item" just under "application". Most of the
other objects are dependents of "item" and inherit its characteristics.
All of item's dependents are also items as well as being their more
"refined" object types. "Item" is precisely defined for Finder, but I
don't find any definition for it in AppleScript except as an element of
objects of the list class.

The point is that even though there is an "item" defined in the Finder, you can't get the class of something and have "item" returned as the class. It's an "|ber class" that includes other classes. The other objects are not really dependents (never seen that term used this way before) or children, or elements, because the "item" class is a theoretical category, not a real object. There is no specific object that is of class "item". Or none that I know of. It's an umbrella class that contains other classes, but no object is of class "item". If there is one, I've never seen it.
