Your question shows that you have misunderstood the Concept of Rule, or that you have tricked yourself into thinking that *all* action in a rules file must be structured in rules. If, as a consequence of rule 1 you need to execute the consequence of some other rule, you might write that as a function or Java method and call it from both rules. Also, reconsider the if statement in the then part of your 1st rule. Isn't it possible to add this condition to the left hand side? Or, considering the conditions that ought to trigger the consequence of your second rule, isn't it possible to write them all in that rule's left hand side? Anyway, rules are not methods or procedures, and "navigating between rules" is not something you should envisage as a paradigm while using rules. (There are mechanisms controlling the firing of rules, such as salience or agenda groups, but I don't think that this is what you need in the posted scenario.) -W 2009/3/25 yash kapoor <yash.rocksolid(a)gmail.com&gt;
