We show that in magnetic metallic superlattices along with the bilinear RKKY-reminiscent interaction between magnetic superlattices there can be an important quadrupole-quadrupole coupling. In an analytical way we derive the range functions of the quadrupol-quadrupole interaction and discuss its relation to magnetoresistivity.
