Have and have influence (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

possess

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'have' is the first definition.
(I know that have can be written as possess)

'and' is a link.

'have' is the second definition.
(possessing is a kind of having)

'influence' is the third definition.
(I know that possess is a type of dominate)

(Other definitions for possess that I've seen before include "Have ownership of" , "Consume" , "influence" , "Own, keep" , "Have and hold" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
