Reflexive relationships displayed for one source node (instead of between two source nodes) #19

It seems the latest beta version is adding relationships that are not on a
path between source nodes. It looks like relFinder is adding circular
relationships that involve at least one of the source nodes. 

Example: 

Assuming I have these relationships

A -> B -> C
A -> D -> A

And if I search for relationships between A and C, I end up with 'A -> D ->
A' in the results.

Actually, what I think is happening is this:

Following my example above, RelFinder displays the path : 

A -> D -> A -> B -> C

Which results in displaying a loop from A to D and Back to A. 

While that path is technically correct, is this really something you want to 
display ?

Intuitively, I would expect to see direct paths from A to C and not paths that 
start 
with A, come back to A and eventually branch back to C (because such paths are 
overlapping direct paths from A to C).
