It's called the "dependency inversion principle". People don't like to call it "reflection", and heap various layers like XML or dependency injection annotions on it, but technically, it comes down to reflection at runtime, as far as I've seen.
It certainly has its cost in additional complexity through indirection, but it's better than creating cyclic dependencies or giant balls of mud.
