For an object intersection type of "inside" this is the contained role (e.g., if a well is inside a field then the well would be the secondary agent). For all other object intersection types the roles are symmetrical and both relationships must be searched for a particular object. For example, if a wellbore and a formation overlap then either could be chosen as the secondary agent with the other chosen as the primary agent.
