Require (Mutual)

The Require (Mutual) template has the following form:

[Item or Condition] mutually requires [Item or Condition]

Use this template when the requires relationship between items or conditions is mutual. For example, Product A requires Product B, AND Product B requires
Product A.

When using components as the operands, you can specify global paths for either or both components.

The Boolean equivalent of the Require (Mutual) template is NOT(A XOR B). Table 29 shows the truth table for this template.

The behavior of the Require (Mutual) template is the same as the Exclude template, except that operands are required instead of excluded.
