Personally I'd design this differently.

The main reason it only shows one parent right now is to stop loops. That's because the tree is not a real tree, it's what they call a "graph" in computer science. I believe it is quite possible to make a page 'A' with a page 'B' under it with the page 'A' under that. A different algorithm could be used to prevent display of loops.

A secondary reason is we don't want the tree to be huge. On some sites it won't be, on some sites it will be. Minimising redundancy in the tree mitigates that, but it's not really a solution. The solution would be to have a maximum-display-depth option, and to allow generation of subtrees for any page via an icon on that page.

This removes the need for a complex UI -- as we want to make Composr automatically display pertinent information, rather than being a complex database management system.
