Is there a way to setup items in the manifest (using Reload) so that multiple html pages are navigable using the LMS previous/continue buttons but are considered part of the same sco?

Short answer: no. What you can do with SCORM 2004 is turn off the LMS’s User Interface controls, such as the LMS’s Previous and Continue buttons, so that you can replace them with buttons within your own content, and thus have greater control (and consistency) in your content’s user interface.

cmi.mode = review, can user enter data? Does the user have to have gone through it in normal mode then come back?

Good question. The cmi.mode is the data model element that identifies one of three possible modes in which the Sharable Content Object (SCO) may be presented to the learner: browse, normal or review. These values can be used to indicate the SCO’s behavior after launch.

Many SCOs have a single behavior, but some SCOs can present different amounts of information. The information can be presented in different sequences, it can reflect different training strategies or store different sets of data based on the mode the SCO is currently in.

So in answer to the question, it’s completely dependent on the content developer if the SCO has different behavior about recording your interaction with it dependent on the mode. The LMS behavior does not change because a SCO’s mode is set in any specific way (or set at all).
