I have been working on this project where we encountered this interesting problem of 3rd level menu items.

Problem:
Users need a way to navigate to any page in the website at any level. And when they navigate they need to know where they are and how to get back to any other level.

Solution:
There are 2 kinds of 3rd level menu items.
1. Menu items with a launch page(homepage for the 3rd level)
2. Menu items without a launch page(discrete pages bound together)

To create a consistent model that works for both cases, we introduced a HOME screen for menu items with launch page and that solved the problem. Any other approach would have landed us up in 2 different UI interaction models.
