Loft invalid topology

I'm trying to do a simple loft but am getting an 'invalid topology' and hence can not bake the geometry. I think it has something to do with the data structure. Any ideas?

kind of same problem here
both set of curves are at 0,0,0,0,0
buth they are not producing a loft
you can see in the panel that only one loft is generated
since gh is connecting only one periodic curve and one closed curve
i tried sorting them with no luck

@Paul: I do not know. But it should not have to do with the data structure, more probably with the shape of the curves (are they by any chance very similar?). Could you add a small example?

@Mario: This is because the tree paths differ. The second item is called:

{0;0;0;0;1} above

{0;0;0;1;0} underneath

Before merging, a path mapper with {a;b;c;d;e} -> {a;b;c;e;d} in any (but not both) of the streams should fix the ordering.

Hey thanks Giulio!!!
path mapper is something i have not been able to understand completely.
your explanation is very clear i get it now.
thank you very very much!
