You certainly could if inclusions rendered in search cards, but apparently we don't do this (yet?):

There may be another way to do it...anyone?
I don't think inclusions rendering in search cards would help here, actually, if I understand the use case.
Aren't we talking about having it so that, for example, I can have three drop downs in a row for car brand, make and model. When I choose the brand, I want it to narrow the makes. Then when I choose the make it narrows the model, right?
The solution there would have to be a javascript one, so that the WQL was getting updated with values that haven't touched the database.
If we were dealing with a solution where we'd already stored the user's selection before moving on, we could do this now with WQL without messing with the inclusion stuff.

I should say, a js solution like this could have a lot more uses -- there are lots of other more common ways that you might want to modify a form based on a previous answer.

Ah, a nice use of faceted search, which we would certainly want to support whenever we do faceted search. Unfortunately not something we're likely to get to super-soon, right?

definitely not until we've finished the module architecture.

Ethan nailed the use case. No prob, thanks for the feedback! Not a must-have in my case, but it helps getting precise input from users.
