You could try a scene graph like this:
Locale
/ \
/ \
/ \
/ \
BG BG
/\ /\
/ \ / \
BG1 SW1 BG2 SW2
/ /\ / /\
S1 B1 B2 S2 B3 B4
where BG = Branch Group, SW = Switch, B = Behavior, and S = Shape3D.
This way you can leave all the geometry active all the time, and
simply switch the behaviors on and off as needed. I don't know what
other things you application needs, but this should solve your behavior
problem.
