No, a contract doesn't create a relationship in that way. You have a
contract with your bank but that doesn't mean you have a 'connection' in
control / management (ie legal) terms. The agreement to use the trading
name can e withdrawn without affecting the company using it - the
effective wall that needs to be between the WMF and every Chapter - but
including it explicitly in founding documentation would bridge (er door?)
that wall.
