Your understanding here is correct. In your example: Given a node with 10E7 relationships and you want to know if it is connected to node x. If you know that x has significant lesser relationships you can reverse the traversal direction and check if x is connected to a. This will be cheaper as only the smaller linked list of node x needs to be iterated.
