A higher-layer depends on a lower-layer, while a lower-layer isn't aware of the existence of the high-layer that depends on it. In a strictly layered architecture, a higher-layer can only depend on a direct lower-layer. In a relaxed layered architecture, a higher-layer can depend on any layer underneath it. For example, the presentation layer can only depend on the business layer in a strict layered architecture, while it can depend on the data access ...
