No back slide animation to parent from child with level >2

you will go one step further in the history, if you extend the example of @Calendee to something dirty like that:

$ionicViewService.getBackView().go();
$timeout(function(){
   $ionicViewService.getBackView().go();
   $scope.$apply();
});

Nonetheless, I appreciate the fact that the app is trying to guess for us the correct animation, but sometimes it’s just not doable and it would be great having a way (with an html parameter) which may override the standard animation.
