newbie question about morphs

The world I am creating is a spatial hypermedia environment called
ConceptLab that provides multiple POVs and multi-dimensional
views over the same set of objects, on the screen at the same
time. For example, a Person instance can be simultaneously part
of an Institution instance, a Paper instance, a Project instance, and
a Concept instance, as well as being itself, a Person instance, and
all of these can be on the screen at the same time. This is true for
all ConceptLab objects.
In addition, a given instance can contain multiple pointers to another
specific instance at different levels. For example, "Catherine
Marshall" (a Person instance) can appear multiple times at several
levels as part of the "Spatial Hypertext" Concept instance.
If I understand correctly what seems to be true about composite
morphs - that a given morph can be embedded in one and only one
composite morph - then I cannot use Morphic to model my world
and must instead work with MVC. Is this correct?
Thanks,
R.
