Known lower bound techniques for depth restricted branching programs are not sensitive enough to lead to tight hierarchies. A new lower bound technique implies the separation of the classes of polynomial-size branching programs, where on each path k variables may be tested more than once and k≤(1−ε)(n/3)1/3/ log2/3n for some ε>0. Methods from communication complexity theory are adopted to separate the classes of polynomial-size ordered read k times branching programs, where k=o(n1/2/ log2n).
