Brian-
Interesting. Can you clarify a couple of questions tho'.

Does the conditional effect the results? Can you discard any paths with a false conditional?

Is there a defined starting point? For example, do all possible paths start with form A? Or can the user "jump-in" anywhere, or just if the form appears in the start_form field?

Once you show a path leads a to specific form n, can you stop searching the path?

Does it help to search on successful subpaths?
