This is now available with the Adobe Analytics Spring 2014 release! Both the API and Report Builder now support most pathing data.

Improved sorting and filtering of segments, both when selecting segments in reports and when managing segments, is now available with the Adobe Analytics Spring 2014 release.

heard back from client care that your resolution is correct and that you allow a max of 3 variables for subrelations. Are there plans to increase the max # of variables to more than 3 and when might that be done and what will the new max be? thanks
