Does each page have its own submit button? If so, pressing the submit
button will process the form on that page. While hitting the back button
on the browser has its own set of problems, it doesn't unprocess the
page, but the page could be reprocessed if the user hits the submit
button again.

You could display the form dynamically, and if the user goes backward,
and if the form was posted and field session variables are already set,
you can dispay an error or warning, then send them on to the next
page/form that should be completed and processed.
