Jimi,
It is my understanding that there is a "stack" (LIFO) for subroutine/function calls. Every time you call a program, the previous program is pushed onto the stack. Every time a program RETURNs, the previous program is pulled from the stack. It makes no difference whether the same program is called several times, or different programs are called. This is one potential problem of recursive functions.
VFP allows 128 levels; when you reach your recursive functions, some levels may be used already.
