1 knows 2 3  2 knows 3 4  and so on  n knows 1 2  everyone knows 2 persons and noone knows  everyone.  Did i misunderstand the question?

Be careful:  if 2 knows 3 4 and 1 knows 2 3 then  2 also knows 1.   So the relationship is  in two ways.  Also, if you select any subgroup of  two persons you should have to see  in  each person 2  relations external to  the subgroup made.
