concerned about entwined relationships

This message is not about soap operas or politics... subject title notwithstanding.

I'm wonder if an entity relationships between my operators tables and harvest systems and haulsystems violates in integrity and functionality rules. My concern is that they share relationships with linking tables that remotely ties them all together. May I ask anyone to give it a glance?

I've attached a jpeg file from visio. Unfortunately, in visio 2003, relationship drawings aren't specific to fields, but I pared down the tables and fields for simplicity.

Thanks for your view.
