  - addTypeWithParent
```
public void addTypeWithParent(Class type)

    Register a type as being a 'container' class. Container classes will be scanned for methods for retrieving child instances that can be walked to. You should never need to call this. The library authors should take care of this for you. Register 'structural' classes here - those with children.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - the Class of the type with children
  - getWalker
```
public Walker getWalker(Visitor visitor)
                 throws BioException
```
    Get a Walker that is customosed to a particular visitor.
    
    Parameters:
    
    visitor - the Visitor this walker will scan with
    
    Returns:
    
    a Walker bound to this visitor
    
    Throws:
    
    BioException - if the walker could not be built
