Siginificance of pinfo->fd->flags.visited

Hello all, Can anyone please explain me the significance of pinfo->fd->flags.visited. I know that this variable is set to TRUE if a packet has been visited once but if we click on the same packet then why all things are done again? Logically if a frame has been dissected once, it should not be checked again, so condition "if(pinfo->fd->flags.visited == FALSE)" should always be checked before doing the dissection. Why the need of re-dissecting the frame over and over again? My second doubt is that in RLC, if duplicity has already been checked then why to check it again? I mean should the duplicity function be covered under "if(pinfo->fd->flags.visited == FALSE)"?
