You want a 3 dimensional version of "find usages".  Where you can browse forward 
in time, backward in time from each entry point to a method.  And further you can 
look up in override stack, and down.

Perhaps some color coding for methods that are conditionally called.

Neat idea.  It would facilitate writing sequence diagrams from code (a task I perform 
quite regularly).  Obviously you would still be required to look at the code, it 
wouldn't 
actually be a sequence diagram -- more of all possible paths through the code 
combined together.

Limiting scope would be required, otherwise it would get too messy too fast.
