Well, I just done that last week.
Here is how it work:
first I defined a static home page, and 3 active subpages (client, staff,
admin)
I also defined a top-level topic with 3 subtopic tree (one for each active
page)
and each subtopic is in fact a page displayed by one of the 3 actives pages.
I added some articles which work like sub-element of a page.
example:
if I want to go to the page /staff/prefs/user.html
it gets the active page staff, then that page will get the staff topic, then
go to prefs topic, displays the content of 'prefs' topic and displays in a
table the content of the 'user' article.
I separated the site in three parts cause I wanted the clients to see only
the topic subtree under /client/name/
and the staff people cannot see the /admin/ subtree.
If you want to see it, I could open a temporary account for those who ask
me.
With the same principle, I made an automatic site map starting from the
user's own root.
