[rules-users] controling rule execution

[Edson Tirelli]

   Sequential mode is something completely different, so don't bother about
it right now. From your description, ruleflow seems to fit the requirements.
Organize your rules in groups, and have a split node decide which path to
follow in your rule flow... as an additional bonus of this approach, you can
use lock-on-active to prevent recursion.

   Ordering of rules is not really a criteria for deciding for or against
the use of a rules engine. So, I would say, before doing anything else, take
a look at ruleflow. Also, please note that split nodes can take conditions
in the exact same way as a rule LHS to decide which path to follow, giving
you a lot of expressiveness power for your "flow decisions".
