 When we want relate our new module with existing one, we can't update DB
 info adding a new field in existing entity without editing that existing
 module.

 Example:

 NEW MOD. ---------------- EXISTING MOD.
 Route 1----------------------M Trouble Ticket

 We add a new field in Trouble Tickets to select wich route is related. But
 we can't take effect of this field without editing HelpDesk Module code.

 Also, with method setRelatedList, we show ADD button in Trouble Tickets
 Related List in Route record. With this button we can't update field Route
 in TT without editing HelpDesk Module code.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 When we want to relate One Account with many routes we have another
 problem, we add an Account field in Route, and we need to edit Accounts
 code to add callback function to get related routes in Accounst Related
 Lists.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 We need some way to relate new modules with existing ones without editing
 base code.

 Thanks.
