You don't have to worry about them for now. The models in + <em>InterfaceDefinitions</em> folder are the PICML + representations ofthe IDL files you just imported. Double-click + to open <em>Broker</em>, it will show you a white, document-like + entity which represents a <<FileRef>> instance and a + yellow box-shaped entity representing a <<Package>> + instance. Their equivalent representations in IDL files are + "#include" and "module" respectively. Figure 3 gives you a clear + view of GME representation of all the 3 idl files created.
