// Description:  Abstract base class for Trajectory objects designed to 
//     live inside TrkReps as descriptions of tracks.  Adds to the base 
//     class functions that provide derivatives related to the underlying 
//     independent parameters.  The interface for getting the parameters 
//     is deferred to more derived classes.
//
// Environment:
//      Software developed for the BaBar Detector at the SLAC B-Factory.
