Hi Tom,
maybe
ec.setStopsValidationAfterFirstError(false);
is what you're looking for?

(However, the situation I describe would arise even if there are no relationships among the entities.) It seems that when I invoke save and the EOs are validated, the first one that throws a validation exception terminates the validation process such that any remaining EOs will not be validated. Simply put, from the user's perspective not all invalid data will be caught.

Before returning false from this method I take over the validation process by validating all the updated EOs in the EC and I throw an aggregate validation exception if needed. I use the methods in ERXEntityClassDescription to perform the validation.
