what are the bonus types for pathfinder? so far i have found
ability*
armor*
circumstance
competence
deflection
dodge
enhancement
insight
luck*
morale*
natural armor*
racial*
resistance
shield*
situation
size*
For most of these (*) i can easily find definitons/descriptions but not all.
What is the difference between circumstance, situation and insight bonuses?
Pg 206, about stacking. states "...with the execption of dodge and most circumstance bonuses..." what are those circumstance bonuses that are stackable?
are ability bonuses a separate type or do they (should they) really fall under 'enhancement'?

I have never seen a situation bonus. An insight bonus is usually fluffed by saying you see what could happen in the future just before it happens.

I believe that a situation bonus is the same as a circumstance bonus.
Circumstance bonuses stack if they arise from different circumstances. For example, if your mount is taller than the thing you're attacking you get a +1 circumstance bonus for being on higher ground. This would not stack with the circumstance bonus of you being on stairs above your opponent (because they're both the same thing.. a height advantage) but would stack with a flanking bonus
