In general it might not make sense to run the toll path backwards. Foe example what if there was a tool change? Or in the case of a 3D printer there would be plastic in the path and the extruder would crash. Ans does reverse means the spindle goes backwards too. I'm still thinking about what might happen if there are more than there axis involved.
But irregardless if it would make sense, it would not be hard to write software that would "flip" a g-code file around so it runs bottom to top. Some code just don't make sense to run in reverse order. For example in the normal case you might start the spindle spinning then do some work then turn it off. Doing this in reverse order is nonsensical: Turn the spindle off do some stuff then turn it on. That does not seem useful.
