As David said, there isn't, but I'd be happy to look at adding one.

Assuming that (as ever with Potlatch) we go for a 90% solution rather 
than covering every possible combination... am I right in thinking that 
you'd like something that combines two areas, with a shared sequence of 
nodes, into one?

In other words:
	A-B-C-D-E-F-G-A
and
	H-I-J-C-D-E-K-L-H
become
	A-B-C-J-I-H-L-K-E-F-G-A
(and D is deleted)
