## <Returns>two lists of lists upon success, <C>fail</C> otherweise.</Returns>
## <Description>
## Computes the Hasse diagram of <C>SCSimplicialComplex</C> object 
## <Arg>c</Arg>. The Hasse diagram is returned as two sets of lists. The first
## set of lists contains the upward part of the Hasse diagram, the second
## set of lists contains the downward part of the Hasse diagram.
## <P/>
## The <M>i</M>-th list of each set of lists represents the incidences between
## the <M>(i-1)</M>-faces and the <M>i</M>-faces. The faces are given by their 
## indices of the face lattice.
