Can't you define `iso` with 3 args, one being a list of intermediates?
E.g., something like

(defn iso [entity is parent]
  (conde
    [(is-a entity parent) (== is ())]
    [(fresh [i nis]
       (is-a entity i)
       (conso i nis is)
       (iso i nis parent))]))

Then you could run it like:

  test.logic> (run* [q] (iso :pitbull q :animal))
  ((:dog :mammal :chordate))

Bye,
Tassilo
