In the 3.5 version of the Tumble skill, if you failed your Tumble check while trying to tumble through an occupied enemy space, you not only provoke AoO, but your movement stops in the space in front of whomever you were trying to tumble past. In the Pathfinder version of Acrobatics, it states that if you fail the Acrobatics check while attempting to move through an enemy space, it provokes and if damage is taken, a new Acrobatics check has to be made to avoid falling or being knocked prone. However, it doesn't say that the movement necessarily stops, especially if the second check is successful. So should that be interpreted to mean that an attempt to tumble/dive/slide through an enemy space could still succeed even on a failed Acrobatics check if A) the opponent misses with his/her AoO, or B) the character takes damage but succeeds on the second Acrobatics check? Or should it instead be assumed that the "stops movement" clause from 3.5 is grandfathered in?
Edit to add: I'm referring to moving through a space occupied by an opponent, not merely moving through their threatened area.

Where are you finding this? That's not what the Acrobatics skill description says at all?

It's kind of piecemeal, but it is in there.
On page 88, it provides DCs for moving through an enemy's threatened area (DC = CMD), and for moving through an enemy's space (DC = CMD+5). On page 87, it states, "If you take damage while using Acrobatics, you must immediately make another Acrobatics check at the same DC to avoid falling or being knocked prone." That statement is included in the section about using acrobatics to walk on narrow ledges and uneven ground, but is worded in such a way as to suggest it is meant to apply to any use of Acrobatics.

No that's only for the Balance portion of Acrobatics. Three different subskills are covered. Not every modifier covers all the subsets.
That's what I thought at first, regarding that particular statement, but in every other instance where they were speaking of a specific and limited use of Acrobatics, they included the caveat "using Acrobatics in this way," but in that instance they didn't. I wasn't sure if they left that caveat out as an oversight, or if it was meant to apply to other uses of the skill and was just poorly placed in the description.
