Gravity forces?

[jajrussel]

If you have two large gravitational masses some distance apart. Then another smaller mass passes through the middle of that distance is there any canceling out of force acting on the smaller mass? You can possibly toss out the word force, and substitute a relative term though I am not sure what that would be. Maybe something like intersecting space time curves, and the effect on the smaller mass.

As long as the mass/energy of any of the masses doesn't change, I don't think it makes a difference to the way gravity affects them.

Yes they are called Lagrangian points.
