The current diagrams present a view a bit like a SysML 'internal block diagram'. The way it's been used is for associations to indicate dependencies, and not inheritance etc. It doesn't indicate 'activities'/'processes'.
Other diagrams, such as a data flow diagram, exist that do reveal 'functions'. This can be helpful to indicate when relationships come into play.
It might be useful to extend the model to support annotating relationships with this concept
