That would mean that we need to add a direction field to insrel right? > but why would you swap fields at all ? because it already difficult enough to find relations/other nodes:) In my prefect world we would have a RelationNode containg the relation+the related node so that on bridge level there is no confusion about all this stuff the relation node might be a cluster node (containing the relation + destination node) or a node containing all fields of the relation node and the destination node. This would make a lot of things easyer like: -java sorting -editing posrels in a RelationNodeList -programming because right now you really have to choose between getting the relations from the bridge and finding the "other" node by hand or getting the related nodes but missing the relations..
