>There are likely some architectural flaws in the following reason, but I use views to pull a subset of records (View1) from the base table, then pull another view from the base table (View2) based on criteria for the selected record in View1, then finally pull the record to edit (View3) from the base table based on the selected subset record in View2. When editing (or whatever) is done, I want to return to the last current record in View2 and subsequently return to the last current record in View1. What would be the best way to handle this?

Whay wait till editing is done to start restoring record pointers? Maybe I am misunderstanding your situation, but I would restore them just after querying the subsequent views.
