Checking closed path

Question

Hi Guys,
I am new to scripting, I am able to check the closed paths but I am struck in some problem.
Whenever I delete some segments from closed path and rejoin leaving a particular segment outside a newly made closed path, my script fails to recognize the opened path. have attached the screen shots.
In the second image after deleting the segment i am not able to recognize the path which is out segment that closed path.
Here is my code:
var thePathed = app.activeDocument;
for (var a = 0; a < thePathed.pathItems.length; a++)
    app.activeDocument = thePathed;
    var aPath = thePathed.pathItems[a];
    for (var b = 0; b < aPath.subPathItems.length; b++)
            if (aPath.subPathItems[b].closed == false)
                alert("Error in Path Name: "+ aPath.name)
alert ("Path checking Finished")
Any suggestions on this is appreciable.
Thank you in advance.....

I think I see what is wrong. You edited the path in a way that made it a complex path not seperate paths.
Try this
var thePathed = app.activeDocument;
for (var a = 0; a < thePathed.pathItems.length; a++)
    app.activeDocument = thePathed;
    var aPath = thePathed.pathItems[a];
    for (var b = 0; b < aPath.subPathItems.length; b++)
            if ( aPath.subPathItems[b].operation ==  ShapeOperation.SHAPEXOR || aPath.subPathItems[b].closed == false )
                alert("Error in Path Name: "+ aPath.name)
alert ("Path checking Finished")
