RE: JESS: compare slots but only with the last two instances

Assuming that there's some definite ordering among your instances, you just need to make those explicit somehow -- give each instance a slot holding a serial number -- and then you can identify "the next two" and "the last two" by comparing those numbers. Otherwise it's the same as comparing any two facts.

If they're Java objects, you can generate the IDs in Java using a static member variable. if they're Jess facts, you could use the (default-dynamic) slot property to automatically create a value when the fact is asserted.
