Hey

I was looking for a script to create a arm of a character in Puppet Tool work Inverse Kinematics Style. Might be by moving a Null Object or just the Pin and the Middle Pin then moves like a wire that gets less stretched and goes hanging. Which is actually what happens when there would be no pin in the middle. Actually, now I want to choose (by putting a point in the middle) which way (up/down or right/left) this middle section will bend to. Instead of it being a calculation from the left pin and the right pin.

Hmm.. hope somebody understands.

Why not simply maintain the relative positions using an elementary difference expression? Not sure what you're hoping to achieve, though. As soon as you add more than 2 pins, the mesh will stop to be rigid, regardless whether you retain the relative placement. It's inherent in how it's supposed to work.
