I think you mean:

The schematic looks like pin 2 of Q102 is connected to C167 and R116
because of the circle at the junction. There is no way of knowing they
are not connected just looking at the schematic. We can't guess wether
the user wanted to connect them or not, so I think gschem should handle
this as a normal junction, and gnetlist output what the schematic looks
like. Or at least it has to report a warning showing the situation.
