Sure, because any netlist is just a net list, and we understand
that if nets are connected, and we know which functions to use to
get aware of their connections, we may do it.

I've already mentioned my reverse engineering stuff today [1]. It
has several functions which do things you're probably speaking of. (I
understand, nobody is able to ever read such a wall of posts in the
list.) It's a simple thing I used to gather info on nets for
one page and to regenerate missing connections I had after moving
components around. It has a bit of geda-scheme functions' use,
some useful guile functions, and my (not very beautiful)
implementation (I'm just learning scheme :)). If you use emacs,
use <C-h i> to look at guile or geda-scheme info manuals. I often
use hitting <s> and a regexp like ': fold' to quickly find info on
the function I need. Or go to the index page, all (almost all)
functions have links to descriptions there. Many functions have
built-in info as well, use "(help fold)" to read on them in the
REPL.

HTH,
  Vladimir
