Just my 2c worth.

Why make it so complex? Why not have the basic unit being a Page, with all Pages having an optional parent, thus making a navigable hierarchy as deep as you want to go? Each Page has its own HTMLcontent, and Apache rewrite rules can be used to access them using URLs like

http://my.wonderful.site/site/newsletters/august/fun.html

where "/site/" gets rewritten to /cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyCMS.woa/wa/ showpage?path=

and "fun" has the parent "august" which has the parent "newsletters" which has no parent.

And since Pages are hierarchical, any intelligence applied to them (access by group membership, version control, etc) becomes hierarchical too.

If you are saying you want content to be accessed in multiple ways, that is a navigation issue rather than a membership issue. From my experience, your average CMS user would get very confused if you tried to tell them that a particular page "lived in" more than one part of their site. However they are very comfortable with the idea of "page aliases," which appear the same to site visitors, but the site admins see there is only one page.

Or maybe I don't understand your schema. Perhaps you could explain it a little?
