I could not find any discussions or requests for this rack focus modification. Would it be possible to allow more than one configuration of  focus start/end points for rack focus? Maybe break out rack focus menu to allow to choose 1,2 or 3 rack focus setups and then config each setup start/end point with ability to set a delay between each rack focus action. This could be used for a complex shot to hit sharp focus as an actor hits their mark, moves to a new mark and still end up with sharp focus on actor and then allow focus on addl feature or actor as the shot continues.

For what I described above, say for a 2 rack focus setup the second rack start point would be the first rack focus end point.

The options would be something like this

# of racks

rack 1 start/end points with existing delay and step setup
-delay between rack 1 and rack 2 actions

rack 2 start/end points with existing delay and step setup
-delay between rack 2 and rack 3 actions

rack 3 start/end points with existing delay and step setup
600D x2

I quote this, it would be really interesting!
