Route leaking is not only from customers-to-providers. It
can also be from providers-to-providers (and from peers-to-
peers).
The majority of leaks I've seen in the past have been
possible because some inter-provider links have not been
filtered correctly, i.e., they are providing (unknown)
transit where they would only be peering.
It is not uncommon to see more relaxed filtering between
providers/peers, e.g., AS_PATH-based only, max-prefix-based
only, e.t.c., but please don't send these out to anyone else
besides your customers unless the ultimate relationship
calls for it. Of course, one can't guarantee that the
customers you send this to won't leak it to their own
transit providers.
Bottom line, chasing route leaks can be a full time job.

What do you mean, in terms of how they connect or in terms
of the business relationship?
I don't think it matters either way. The common peering,
filtering and re-announcement rules apply.
