Hierarchie in the Organization Chart environment?????

[GuidoJH]

About a full day now I am trying to a thing done which I think is / should be
very simple, but no matter what I try it just won't work.

I work in the Organization Chart Drawing, and I want to do the following
thing:

select and drop one, say "Manager A", drop another "Manager B" next to
"Manager A" and then drop another "Manager C" under the two managers... Now
connect "Manager A and C" and then TRY to connect ALSO "manager B and C" I
just cant do it, because then the connection between "manager A and
C"dissappears in a misterious way... My question is, why? how can I make it
not happen ( where is the uncheck for example?) within the Organization Chart
Drawing, because other features of this environment I do like. For example the
drop-to-fit is very easy and the multiple shapes option...

But I want to be able to connect two (or more) shapes on a row to ONE shape...
I think its this environment because in a basic drawing I don't have this
problem...

Please help... I tried comparing ShapeSheets but that didnt help either..

Visio does not support multiple managers in organization charts. It will
remove connections to prevent this.

Given the reaction(s) of Visio that was also my conclusion, but

is there a way around this? is it a prevention which I can "switch off"?

is there a way Visio will support multiple managers in organization charts...?
