OSPFv2 inter-area transit - fundamental concept

Hi, and thanks:

Simple question: Is it a restriction of OSPF that all inter-area traffic
must flow through the backbone area? What if I have two non-backbone areas
next to each other, does the traffic need to go to the backbone and then to
the other area? I was always under the impression that this was not a
requirement of OSPF.

Thanks,
