A Mirrored Matrix can have the same row and column definition types displayed as mirrored. When you click in the cell of the matrix, the opposite relationship will also have the cell marked with an 'x'. The relationship becomes a two-way relationship. When using a non-mirrored matrix which has the same row and column definition types, you can only specify one way relationships.
