How about: an order contains a list of items. When that list is
length 1, we call it a single order; when it's two or more, we call it a
basket order. Then we don't need a separate type, with repeated
boiler-plate code that is almost the same except for handling a list
versus one item.

I'd use a programming language in which I can have polymorphic function
or method called "process", which can work on objects of various types.

   order.process(); // process the order: any kind of order

   cheese.process(); // process the cheese; totally different
