Hyperedges can be modelled as nodes. IMHO of a relationship is supposed to have more relationships attached, then it's a first class entity that should be related to other entities.

There is no support for a hyperedges in Neo4j. Only edges and vertices. Clean and simple.

Is neo4j able to make edge with between node and other edge ? I don't think so

No. Currently you can have only nodes and edges between nodes.

I meant to say that if there is a need to model hyper-edges, we should try decomposing the model into simpler nodes and relationships. Hyperedges are inherently complex.
