Compare your sentence and mine: > > For B I want to get A and for C I want to get B. > For B I would get C and for C I would get A. > > So for B you get A while I get C, and the equivalent for C. Ok, that's expected since you have renamed B to C and C to B. My tree was: o---o---o---C / o---o---o---B / ---o---o---o---o---o---A Your's was: o---B / o---o---o---o---o---C / ---o---o---o---o---o---A So when I said: For B I want to get A and for C I want to get B. It is equivalent to your (just rename B and C).: For B I would get C and for C I would get A. Frankly I do not see your point... That's maybe the cause of the problem I'm having....
