Hello

Im going to delete a node with subnodes and all relationships. I've
written a traversal that given the mian node to delete collects all its
relevant subnodes. But I'm not sure whats going to happen when i start
deleting stuff. This is best explained by example

node1
  > node2
  > node3
      ->node4
      ->node5
  > node6

I have a traverser that goes through relationships > and ->, so I'll
find all nodes. My isreturn... is all but start node, so this traverser
gives node2-6.

what i want to do is
for node in trav(node1):
    for rel in relationships():
       del rel
    del node

(i actually still need this so it can't go in the loop)
for rel in node 1:
    delete rel
del node1

Will the above code break my traverser? if i delete all relationships
when node 3 is returned, will it miss node4-5? If i delete node3, find
node 4 delete that, can it go back to the nonexistent node3 to find node
5? Also. will the traverser add hidden relationships/connections that
prevents node removal?? Is this simply solved by the transaction begin,
success, finish statements. i.e delete commands are set for all, but not
executed until tx.finish/success??
