# Point.backward\_df\_recursive()
Returns the list of all previous points of the current point in the current data flow graph and outside of that.
`backward_df_recursive() →` [`APISet`](/glider-ide/api/iterables/apiset.md)`[`[`Point`](/glider-ide/api/point/point.md)`]`
## Query Example
```python
from glider import *
def query():
functions = (
Functions()
.with_name("_burn")
.exec(10)
.filter(
lambda function : function.get_contract().address() == "0x0B79318ecc4cc8F314A985Fc2Da98891EFd238Bc" and function.get_contract().name == "ERC20Named"
)
)
instructions = functions.instructions().exec(1,1)
for instruction in instructions:
backward_dfs = instruction.backward_df_recursive()
if len(backward_dfs) > 3 and len(backward_dfs) < 7:
print(f"Count of Points returned by backward_dfs: {len(backward_dfs)}")
for backward_df in backward_dfs:
print(backward_df.source_code())
return functions
```
## Output Example
To clarify, what is the difference between `backward_df` and `backward_df_recursive`? `backward_df_recursive` operates recursively. Below is the output when `backward_df` was used instead of `backward_df_recursive` :
