Grady Booch has a complete diagramming notation for OO design in his
new book "Object Oriented Design with Applications".   It is very nice and
covers everything you need.  There is a cheat-sheet on the inside covers 
that shows the complete notation as well as a chapter dedicated to explaining
it.  

My suggestion is to run (don't walk) to your nearest bookstore and get it. 
Copies of the book seem to be in short supply right now but the Second printing
should be hitting the stores soon (I hope).

BTW: If you find any CASE tools that implement his notation (or something
similar)
I would really appreciate knowing about it.
