Basically the problem that I'm looking at is:

Given a directed acyclic graph G, with entry nodes E (those who don't
have an inbound edge) and exit nodes X (those without an outbound edge)
then given an exit node x of X, split the graph into G1 and G2 so that
G1 contains x and all paths leading to it.
