If you modularize your code and only use goto's for local jumping there
should never be a problem like that.

When I would program in basic I used to create modules using gosub which
each returned to the control module on return. It was quite easy to track
back anything I needed with just a few pieces of tracking code.

The people who had problems with goto were the ones who didn't split their
programs up into managable chunks. Once a chunk of code gets too big to
keep in your head all at the same time it's time to give up on that code
and start with smaller chunks.
