Confusing structures

to V and that clause can modify antecedents at the same time like this?

1) He is a man to solve the problem that I know.

Objects or subjects in that clauses can be antecedents of relative clauses like this?

2) He is the man that we recommend that you choose ( ).

3) He is the man that I recommend that ( ) visit there.

4) He is the man that I hope that ( ) helps me.

5) He is the man that I hope that you meet ( ).

If you don't like the examples, please you use your own and I hope to make this question clear.


Thank you so much as always and have a good day.

Thank you so much and until now, I have known only I think, I hope, etc can be inserted and two commas are needed and the # 1 sentence is wrong because I thought subjects in that clauses can't be antecedents but according to your reply, the sentence is fine to use and then what is the difference between the two sentences?

1) He is the man that I hope will help me.

2) He is
