Because of the way Poser does parenting, we can't have both an split and a merge in the same chain; only a split is possible when starting from the Node.<< That's why I asked, if the item could "jump" onto a different node, which would implement a merge, like a railway siding, or a river with an island in it. A list of possible (but not necessarily parented) props with a "point of interference" would do.
