crumb trails

Hi All, I have had a question from one of our developers.

Say a user is on a page deep in a website, e.g.

Home > page 1 > next_level_page > parent_page > actual_page

Is an acceptable crumbtrail ...

Home > parent_page > actual_page



I am not sure about this because it doesn't represent the navigational
structure.

To clarify, there are 'home' links elsewhere on each page.

would

Home > ....> parent_page > actual_page

or

.....> parent_page > actual_page

be better?

Thanks

Martin
