The point, as a couple of people were trying to suggest, is that you
shouldn't try to klduge things up to disable the user from doing
something that will make your application behave badly, but rather,
you should fix your application so that it won't behave badly even if
the user does those things.
In the case of someone using BACK (or whatever) to return to a page of
your application, you need to somehow detect that that has happened
and handle it appropriately. Storing something in the session would
be one way to do this.
