Hi Dan,
I probably missed something in your question and it is also not quite clear what does "nothing stops" mean, but according to the TC documentation "Test Item - Stops the execution of the current test item (including its child test items and further iterations of the current item), but proceeds with the execution of the subsequent sibling items." ("Test Items Page (Project Editor)" help topic). So, if Script #1 fails, execution should proceed with Script #2. Is this the behaviour that you observe?
And no, there are no internal means in TestComplete to provide the functionality you mentioned (to continue execution not from the sibling test item but from the parent one (ideally - to be able to specify the parent level to continue the execution from)) though I would love to see it in one of the next version of the tool (maybe in TC8...).
