Hi

I am trying to get the distinct nodes and relationships from the following Cypher query:

```auto
MATCH (p:Person {name :'John James Smith'}) 
CALL apoc.path.expand(p,'former_member|current_member','+team|person',0,3) 
YIELD path as pp 
RETURN pp;

```

I have had some success in getting the node details by using UNWIND:

```auto
MATCH (p:Person {name :'John James Smith'}) 
CALL apoc.path.expand(p,'former_member|current_member','+team|person',0,3) 
yield path as pp 
UNWIND nodes(pp) as n
RETURN n.name as PName, n.team_nickname as NickName

```

but I'm not able to get anything about the relationships.

Any help or insights is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Can you call UNWIND relationships(pp) to get the relationships in the paths?
