How to use data tunneling?

Long ago, pre-GUI, I programmed DB's, all flat or one to many relationship type. I am making some FM solutions, and guess what, everything is a one-to-many relationship with everything one hop away, just like I did 25 years ago. My daily use DB is following: central record is client, clients can repeat but they get a new record in the main table. Related to the main table, 1 hop away 1-to-many tables for: 1- time used, 2- client account #1, 3- client account #2. There are a bunch of layouts for reports & forms.

- I see everything I make as 1 hop away. I can and I have been able to make all my solutions that way, just as i did long ago, but am I missing something here in terms of usefulness?

FileMaker has advanced a great deal since it was a flat file system. You need to invest in a good book like Fm9 Bible and study it. you will be amazed.

yes, "one hop away" is still enough for most solutions

and "two hops away" can come in handy:

e.g a client has orders, and each order has items

so from clients, you can now "see" all items
