Error description

• Title:
  Defective behaviour seen while Roundtripping an attribute with a
  n user defined type.
  
  
  Problem:
  
  
  If we try to change an attribute type, it can be changed by roun
  dtrip, but it is no longer an existing type afterwards, so that
  #includes get lost.
  
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  
  1] Create 2 classes A and B inside the package Default.
  2] Create an attribute 'att' in class A.
  3] Select the type of the attribute in the existing type as 'A i
  n Default'.
  4] Generate the code.
  5] The code is generated as C att; // attribute att
  6] Change the type to C * in the code and Roundtrip it.
  7] The code becomes C * att; // attribute att
  8] Now if we check the type of the attribute in the features Dia
  log box, we can see C * as the C++ declaration
  
  rather than the existing type which is correct.
  9] Now, Roundtrip it back to 'C att;' in the code.
  10] Now if we check the type of the attribute in the features Di
  alog box, we can still see C as the C++ declaration rather than
  the existing type which is wrong because 'C in Default' is avail
  able in the list of existing types.
  
  This works fine with the default C++ types available in Rhapsody
   and the issue is seen only with user defined types.
