Ok, so you have a `child' relation already, so this should be easy (but it's not tested): (defn descendant [d a] (conde [(child d a)] [(fresh [p] (child d p) (descendant p a))])) So d is a descendant of a if - d is a child of a, or - there is some p who is the parent of d and a descendant of a. I think instead of `conde' you can use `conda' here, because when the first clause succeeds the second one cannot succeed and doesn't need to be tested.
