Like Therapsids, Dinosaurs are transitional between true reptiles and their modern relatives (In this case birds and mammals).

Reptiles in them selves are not really as close as some may think. There is a lot of grey area. For example, lizards are actually more closely related to snakes then they are to turtles or crocodiles. Crocodiles on the other hand believe it or not are actually more closely related to Birds then they are to Snakes. Both crocodiles and snakes are classified as reptiles, yet they aren't as closely related to each other as they are to other types of animals.
