I'm new to OmniGraffle and trying to figure out if I can create the network diagrams I need. I'm not sure the right language to describe it, so I'll give it my best shot.

In my diagrams, everything in a child layer should be a child to *everything* in the parent layer, not just one item. In other words, something starts at Item 1, can flow through any of Items 2 through 4, and a common output from those can flow through any of Items 5-8.

In the Outline, I can only get an item to be a child of one other item. I've tried manually adding the additional needed arrows, but it just keeps making a mess of the diagram. Is there any way to tell it to make these links in its beautiful way?

Many thanks!
