We never had any multiply connected graphs (ignoring direction, nor
supported them) before. So this is rather a patch that adds support for
those instead of fixing it. :-)

I think you should also ensure a node in the graph hasn't been enumerated in
the past; otherwise it's possible to do that multiple times in a multiply
connected graph.

How about using a bit field that contained as many bits as there were
entities? It's also faster to check for a single bit than loop over the
whole path for each entity, which certainly will start showing in execution
time with these link numbres.
