>Subject: Number of actions per step
A step is whatever constitutes a meaningful action from a user's point of
view. The meaningful action in choosing an item from cascading menus is the
last item in the cascade. So the one-step version is appropriate (probably
with a few changes in choice of words a la Alexia Prendergast's
suggestions).
