Remarks

This method is used by the calculation engine to determine if the passed in reference is either a child of this reference or a more fully scoped version of this reference. Each element in this reference is compared with the corresponding element in the input reference. If the identifiers are the same, and if this scope contains the input scope, then the input reference is contained by this reference. If the input reference is longer than this reference and the common element are contained, then the input reference is contained.
