This association should not be instantiated if the alternate association to condition mode is instantiated.

Rationale: This association serves the queries "give me encounters which deal with this episode."

OpenIssue: Are we certain that a Patient_encounter can be part of only one Episode of Care? And does an Episode_of_care have to have at least one Patient_encounter, or is this optional?
