Thats the basis of my web tutor(and especially the book). 
It looks at each of the three constructs (plus a 
fourth: modularization)

The methods within an object are still just procedures so 
it applies at that level. The OO bits are just another form 
of module so provided tyou include modularization as a 
fourth construct it works fine.
