This is helpful.
I've seen some 3D programs where you get a node/schematic view and
can use that to run/flow one shader into another, etc. I think this
can be cumbersome if it's the only way to do texturing but could be a
handy addition/alternative to the current texture room and even if
the schematic view were read-only it could still help you understand
how a given shader works (for instance if you were trying to analyze
someone else's shader). pixels3d has something called shadermakerpro
that I think is along these lines:

You can already put a "reference shader" into a channel so it seems
like the carrara texturing system might already support such a thing
under the hood.
