Claim 12:
13. A system including a processor and memory coupled to the processor, the memory including program instructions that, when executed on the processor, implement actions of rejecting, during validation, a sequence of components intended for interacting with a user, including:
providing a sequence setup graphical user interface (abbreviated GUI) supporting construction of an executable sequence by connecting at least five components in a directed graph;
tracing multiple paths through the directed graph, including from at least one conditional branch at a first up-chain component, wherein down-chain components accept as input and depend on output stored by at least one up-chain component, referred to as input chain dependencies;
locating at least one error in use of a particular down-chain component when invoked following one of the multiple paths, wherein the error results from failure to satisfy any of the input chain dependencies of the particular down-chain component; and
reporting the error during validation to a user of the GUI.
