Exactly! That way you won't break the back button. Right now, you're using session data in such a way that index pages do not have bookmarkable URLs. This is bad for many reasons, and is the root cause of your proximate problem. Rule of thumb: if you think you need to track your user's clickstream in the session *to make your application work*, then your design is probably wrong. (Note the emphasized phrase. If you want to track your user's clickstream for marketing or optimization purposes, that's quite another matter.)
