The two (or more) hierarchies exist fully independent from each other. For
output you can take exactly that you like to output (for instance, if you
decide to distribute it on CD-ROM we provide an offline variant with a
local database)
Counting is also done by the Hyper-G clients. They show how many objects are
stored in a specific sub-tree.
Another feature to mention here are sequence collections. All text documents
inserted in such a special collection are embedded into a frame (currently
only availble vie the WWW-gateway) providing
first-next-previous-last-contents buttons to navigate within the sequence
(e.g. http://hyperg.styria.co.at/styria.autoren; sorry it's in german)

We have written the Hyper-G reference book for Addison&Wesley. Unfortunately
the book will not comeout until end of march. We have an electronic version
and I will try to make the specific chapter accesible to you.
