          List<Connection> getOutgoingConnections(String type)

      The outgoing connections for this Node for the given exit-point.
      Returns:
        the outgoing connections for the given exit point

    - #### getNodeContainer

          NodeContainer getNodeContainer()

      The NodeContainer this Node lives in.
