There are two ways in which we can deal with this.
We could consider the component a composite
of two simpler components, and model their interaction to
create a derived component.
create a derived component (i.e. use FMMD on the simpler components).
The second way to do this would be to consider the combnations of non-mutually
exclusive {\fms} as new {\fms}: this approach is discussed below.

\paragraph{Combinations become new failure modes.}
Alternatively, we could consider the combinations
of the failure modes as new failure modes.
We could consider the combinations
of the non-mutually exclusive failure modes as new failure modes.
We can model this using an Euler diagram representation of
an example component with three failure modes\footnote{OK is really the empty set, but the term OK is more meaningful in
the context of component failure modes} $\{ B_1, B_2, B_3, OK \}$ see figure \ref{fig:combco}.
