French term or phrase: repasser
Hello,

"Donc quand nous nous plaçons en un point de programme, ici le point 2 dans le programme Axiom2, le fragment de programme qui mène à ce point sans jamais y repasser, permet notamment de spécifier le domaine des valeurs que peut prendre le programme Axiom2 en ce point, ici le point 2 "

I can think of several alternatives but I don't think that they would fit the context.
Thank you for your time!

go back again
Explanation:
I would keep it simple and non-technical, just as in the French.

repasser
1. [passer à nouveau dans un lieu] to go (back) again

For "sans jamais y repasser," perhpas "without ever going back to it."

That is, with or without "again."

Another possibility might be "and never going back to it (again)." ;-)

IMO "go back (again)" is no less technical than "repasser." Plus (so far as I can see) the author has chosen a non-technical register.

Asker: thanks cc, I thought maybe you couldn't say this in this context, was also thinking of "going past" "without ever going through it" but that doesn't really make sense, I just don't want to put something that is completely "hors sujet" :)
