Something like this should be enough
"topiconesubtopictwo" [label = "subtopic two"];
"topictwosubtopictwo" [label = "subtopic two"];
Or alternatively you can use a counter. 12 [label = 'subtopic two'];
22 [label = 'subtopic two'];
If you avoid spaces you can also forget the quotes (but quotes are safer) topiconesubtopictwo [label = "subtopic two"];
But avoid to name nodes with '_' and '.' topic_one_subtopic_two [label, etc...]
topic.one.subtopic.two [label, etc...]

I think the counter is great idea. Thanks.
I agree. In fact, I set out to make it this way initially. It's either more difficult to implement this, or I don't know the dot language well enough - probably the latter.
I did a dirty hack to do exactly what you're saying for a scientific paper. I modified the code to check if the current line/topic/node was already mentioned in the output string. If so, I tacked on a random number to the node name. Yuck.
Ideally, there would be option to preserve a strict tree-like architecture in better way.
