That is something like I implemented for the SIF reader/writer program using
the composite pattern in the subclass hierarchy:

ProgramAbstractComponent
   ElementDefinition
      CodeDefinitionionElement
         InitializerElement
            ClassInitializerElement
            GlobalInitializerElement
            PoolValueInitializerElement
            ProgramInitializerElement
         MethodDefinitionElement
      ObjectDefinitionElement
         ClassDefinitionElement
         GlobalDefinitionElement
         PoolDefinitionElement
      PoolValueDefinitionElement
      ProgramCommentElement
   ProgramComponentSet
      GroupingSet
         ClassAllSet
         GlobalAllSet
         PoolAllSet
      ProgramDefinitionSet

It handles loose methods and any other loose stuff like additional pool
value, etc.
