[support] Help Pages with block showing a select set of nodes, in order

[Tina Callahan]

I'm helping to architect a site that has over 800+ help pages.  These 
pages are mostly HowTo pages and some have a series of other pages that 
are directly related.  Any one of these pages could be part of a 
"process"  (such as downloading, installing, and configuring a mail 
client).  When a user visits a node that fits into a "process", we want 
to list the related pages in a menu or block where the links are 
*always* in a set order.

I'm not sure technically how to achieve such a task.  I had thought 
about using some combination of RelatedContent, NodeQueue, or even some 
of the other modules that build hierarchical menus.  However, with the 
number of pages that we have, I am concerned with using modules that 
pre-create blocks.  It seems like a maintenance nightmare to have to 
manage these blocks, not to mention it seems like a lot of overhead.

I've not really come across examples of sites that employ this type of 
structure.  Does anyone have any thoughts, ideas, or examples that might 
help out?

Thanks!
Tina
