I don't know if it has been mentioned before in this thread, but if you 
want the next spatial view to open in the same window that you are 
clicking in, just "middle click" the entry and it will use the same 
window.  I find this feature along with the spatial paradigm to be the 
best file navigation facility around.  It took some time to get used to, 
but I almost never open a Browse Window anymore.
