So, i suppose when if clause is true it should stop from going on 
further the rootline?

Hm, i tried with COA_INT now but it's the same. I'm not sure how to 
debug this so i wrote it like this.

menu_s = COA
menu_s {
   10 = HMENU
   10 {
     special = rootline
     special.range = 0 | -1
     1 = TMENU
     1.NO {
       allWrap= You are here: |  >  |*| |  >  
|*| |
       doNotLinkIt = 1
       stdWrap.cObject = LOAD_REGISTER
       stdWrap.cObject {
         mystartingpoint.field = uid
         mystartingpoint.if.isTrue.field = tx_menurootpoint_menuroot
       }
      }
   }
    20 = TEXT
    20.data = register:mystartingpoint
}


and then i use marker to print value in menu_s.20. When i'm on the page 
that has checkbox set it prints pageID but when i'm on the page that has 
no chechbox set it prints nothing.

I also noticed that when i use strWrap.cObject as you wrote originaly i 
don't get page names printed out. If i use before.cObject or 
after.cObject i get those names printed. Do u have maybe some hint for 
easier method of debugging this? Thx!

Regards.
