If I understand correctly, basically what you want is to have the referrer of the first request to your site tagged to every single page request on your site, so you can check what original referrer a person hitting any page came from.

Is this about what you want? An interesting idea if that is what you want... let me know, and if it is, wait for a day or so and you might just have something ;)
It's rather complicated, but in theory I think it would work like this... Let's say URL ABC had 100 hits, but the referer was always the main page of the site...

For each page on the site you would need a toplist of the original referers (tagged) and the direct referers (oldschool)

You might do this...
URL ABC
50 hits original-referer blah1.com/whatever.html
40 hits original-referer blah2.com/stuff.html
10 hits direct-referer google.com/tumadre.html

It might seem like I'm asking a lot, but this would be a VERY useful tool that I'd use myself and I'd recommend all new webmasters to use this tool also...
