And you can also use attributes in interfaces.

For example (from telepathy.if):

########################################
## <summary>
##	Send DBus messages to and from
##	all Telepathy domains.
## </summary>
## <param name="domain">
## 	<summary>
##	Domain allowed access.
##	</summary>
## </param>
#
interface(`telepathy_dbus_chat', `
	gen_require(`
		attribute tp_domains;
		class dbus send_msg;
	')

	allow $1 tp_domains:dbus send_msg;
	allow tp_domains $1:dbus send_msg;
')

(from telepathy.te):

optional_policy(`
	telepathy_dbus_chat(tp_domains)
')

Meaning each domain type that has the tp_domains attribute assigned can
dbus chat to each domain type that has the tp_domains attribute assigned.
