You're right. I just copied a part of the diagram without thinking.

         ocInstance---->(ocInstance)

                |
                v
         otherClass---->(OtherClass)
                |          |
                |          |
                v          v
             Object---->(Object)--+
                ^          ^      |
                |          |      |
                |          |      |
                |          |      |
                |          |      |
                |          |      |
             Module---->(Module)  |
                ^          ^      |
                |          |      |
                |          |      |
              Class---->(Class)   |
                ^                 |
                |                 |

I think that captures the instance case a bit better.
