association containsKey
Is there a method like containsKey on an association?
Or do I need to do:
if (oneAssociation["key1"] is not null)then ...now I end up with:
if ( oneAssociation["key1"] is not null and anotherAssociation["key2"] is not null and oneAssociation["key1"] = anotherAssociation["key2"])then {Or is there a better way?

look at the "online" documentation and search association.
looks like there is a contians(entitiy) and is Contained[entity] which might make things easier.
hope this helps some.
No these work on entity, the "value" in the "key-value" pair.
If you look at HashTable.contains and containsKey you see that for contains it states:
"This operation is more expensive than the containsKey method"
So I'm looking for the least expensive check.
