Every child has a parent (hence the current mandatory to-one from A to B), and every parent has zero or one child.  So I've tacked on an optional to-one relationship from B to A to model the latter.  I take it there's no way to convince EOF that these relationships are inverses, and get the convenience of updating both sides of the relationship at the same time.
