ValueHolderInterface	Purpose: Interface to allow lazy loading of an object's relationships from the database.
WeavedAttributeValueHolderInterface	INTERNAL: This interface defines functionality required by ValueHolders for OneToOneMappings that have LAZY access weaved into them and use Property (method) based access The weaving feature adds a paralell valueholder to the class it weaves and uses that valueholder to control the lazy loading.
