Have you considered a business rules engine? Have a look at some of these http://java-source.net/open-source/rule-engines
Would a rules engine solve your problem?

I don’t have an immediate answer, but it is an interesting modelling problem. Chuck Chuck is right. I have something more into the lines: Product <--->> ProductOption <<---> Option <--->> OptionValue ... where Option is something like "Display Type" and OptionValue is something like "Monochrome". And ProductOption is just a proxy table for the many-to-many relationship. Maybe I should have two more relationships: OptionValue <--->> OptionRequire OptionValue <--->> OptionExclude An AJAX interface would be preferable, so the user gets an error message when changing the selections, not when the application saves the context...
