I don't understand this part. Why isn't the root just placed at BASE_PATH?

In other words, don't open the session with "/A" and then pass "B/C/D" as
BASE_PATH. Just open the session with "/A/B/C/D".

Tossing more and more parameters at the function is a sign of weakness, IMO.
A solid abstraction should not require a bazillion parameters to control its
operation. (more params == more variability == more potential for problem)
