Passing paths to a consecutive match

Neo4j Graph Platform Cypher
1

Hello,
I would like to match something and I also want the paths for those matches. Then I want to do a consecutive match but I also want to preserve the last results, so I tried to pass those result elements as parameters to the next match:

MATCH path = (n)-->(e) MATCH (path), (x) RETURN path, x

However I get the error:

Neo.ClientError.Statement.SyntaxError: Type mismatch: paths defined with conflicting type Path (expected Node)

How can I modeling something like that in a Cypher query ?

Not sure exactly what (x) here is, but you can try this

MATCH path = (n)-->(e) 
WITH path
MATCH (x) 
RETURN path, x
