Greetings,

I have a naïve question regarding Cox regression with time dependent
covariates. 
When I include a covariate (whether it changes the value over time or has
only single fixed value) as a time dependent variable
in the Cox regression model,  is it correct to state that the
proportionality assumption of the Cox regression model 
will always automatically be violated?   I appreciate your answers.
