Dion,
I don't have any more time to throw at your problem. I've said that what
you are doing isn't logically possible because of the three simultaneous
"hits" on the same record in your Person table. You need to remodel this
so it works at a logical level: from that point, it will then be possible
to implement it in a way that works physically.

When I get myself into a bind like this, I sit down with pencil and paper
and draw the model. It's always more productive than ripping out my hair.
