No inheritance from parent or child
When you assign a package to a group, the package stays within that group; it
is not shared with other groups.
Inherit from parent groups
When you assign a package to a group, that package is also assigned to that
group's child groups.
Inherit from child groups
When you assign a package to a group, that package is also assigned to that
group's parent groups.
Inherit from both parent and child groups
When you assign a package to a group, that package is also assigned to all
parent and child groups above and below that group.
Note
The Inheritance setting affects all package groups, not just the specific group you
are creating.

Selecting Superseding Packages
In a supersedence relationship, one package replaces another package. Example: If you
have two versions of the same package, you would make the latest version a
dependency that supersedes the earlier version.
When a package has a supersedence relationship, you must specify whether the
package will be superseded. You do this in the Superseding Packages dialog box, when
add the package to a group.
It is possible to create complex supersedence relationships, in which one package might
be superseded by two different packages. In such cases, you must select which
superseding package to use.
