Actual method of search engine indexing takes place from the sitemap only. Once if any page indexed in search engines can not change if it indexed many times through the navigations links or contextual links.
Internal linking is one of the most important SEO factors.

Every internal link (text or navigation) to a page tells the search engine something about that page, whether it is the link text or the amount of links. You should link heavily to your best content in an effort to "push" the bots in a certain direction and effectively tell them what you consider to be the most important pages. You should also use keyword rich text links with each pages in bound links following its own keyword theme. Less important content requires less links and links to pages such as login or view cart can have no follow attributes because they are completely irrelevant to SEO practices.

What Thindenim is trying to say is that by adding the no follow attribute to your internal links and only leaving the site map with standard links you are actually cancelling out all the benefits of an internal link hierarchy. Am i right thin?
