A method (100) of connecting a first object to a second object is disclosed The first and second objects each comprise at least one associated interface defining a communication protocol for each of the objects. The method (100) examines the communications protocols associated with each of the interfaces of the first and second objects. The method (100) associates a first mapping pointing to the second object with the first object and associates a second mapping pointing to the first object with the second object, if the first and second objects use a compatible communications protocol and the interfaces associated with each of the first and second objects define different sides of the compatible communications protocol.
