On a complex project I experienced some serious issues these days. After discussing this with Softpress’ support, the only solution seemed to be to divide the large project into several smaller ones.
Now while this fixed most problems, one strange behaviour was left unsolved… there is a Carousel with about eighteen items. But only ten of them appear. And even not the first ten, but mixed.
I deleted the site folder and forced the site being completely re-built (even removed the .freeway_ folder). No luck.
Carousel action version 1.1 and Carousel Pane 0.2 have been used.
So I wonder what is going wrong there ?
While on the page are other complex actions as well, but no conflicts were reported by FW during creating the page.
Could you post a link to the broken site, so I can have a look at it
in Firebug?

My contact info is available from my account page (click on my name on
any post I’ve written).
As far as sending me the file, I doubt that would help, since what you
write here makes it pretty clear that you’ve hit a bug in Freeway.
Actions can create files, and link them to the current page, but there
are some edge cases where this process gets munged up. Removing the
Action and republishing the page will clear the bug, at least until
you change the number of files that Freeway has to publish from within
the Action.
Make sure you have the very latest version of Freeway installed, and
if you hit this problem again, you can clear it up by removing the
references to the Action, publishing the document once, and then re-
applying the Action.

Today I found when removing all Carousel actions, deleting the site
folder and re-apply the Carousel actions - it seems to work.
I’ll try to prepare a file for you, even I agree that the problem is a bug in Freeway rather than your action.
In opposite, Softpress’ support stated that the problem must be within the action, which I really can’t believe since anything works till the project grows above a given size.
And as it seems now (cross your fingers - it works again as soon as the project file shrinks under that limit and actions are re-applied.
On your website I just found a simple web contact form, but no address. Anyway, I’ll look closer tomorrow or fill in that form. I just want avoid to spread an actual project to the public.
