Accessing entity relationships to supertypes

I have a macro for generating meaningful Constraint Names on relationships. 

I'm using the following, which works fine for all ordinary relationships:

    For Each relp In ent.ChildRelationships
        etc...

However, this does not include relationships to supertypes  (ie. the FK relationship from a subtype PK to the supertype).
I cannot see any property on the 'Entity' object for accessing these relationships within the macro.

Does anyone know how to access them?  

I've looked at 'SubTypeClusters' on the Model object, but cannot see any attributes on SubTypeCluster for setting the constraint name or getting a Relationship entity..

    I'm confused by your question - there is no constraint name associated with Supertype / Subtype relationship.  You can't define it in the ER Studio user interface - if you can't define it in the UI, you won't be able to define it in a macro either.  The only thing you can edit on a SuperType / Subtype relationship is the rolename of the column.
