It is shown that the idea that scaling behavior in turbulence is limit
ed by one outer length L and one inner length eta is untenable. Every
nth order correlation function of velocity differences F-n(R(1), R(2),
...) exhibits its own crossover length eta(n) to dissipative behavior
as a function of R(1). This depends on n and on the remaining separati
ons R(2)/R(3),.... One result is that when separations are of the same
order R, this scales as eta(n)(R)similar to eta(R/L)(xn) with )=(zeta
(n)-zeta(n+1)+zeta(3)-zeta(2))/(2-zeta(2)), zeta(n) the scaling expone
nt of the nth order structure function. We derive an infinite set of s
caling relations that bridge the exponents of correlations of gradient
fields to the exponents zeta(n), including the ''bridge relation'' fo
r the scaling exponent of dissipation fluctuations mu=2-zeta(6).
