A connection does not have to indicate some form of relationship. You can have a connection anywhere, but that does not necessarily mean that you also have a relationship with that connection.

A connection, in its purest form, is indeed a person or a group that is being informed about a person or a group and that is being expected to act accordingly, either by assisting in some sort of event or by providing logistic or supportive help.
