I am not sure if you strictly need to copy that relationship to all of the
subclasses. EntityModeler does, but EOF might accommodate not having it.

I am not sure. If it works... it works.

I think the worst that would happen is an exception during saving saying that
EOF can't find the relationship on some AppUser subclass. Then you use code

You may want to do this after the lines below.
