The method of hidden crossings is generalized to treat multielectron systems utilizing molecular Hartree-Fock and configuration interaction methods, extended into the plane of complex internuclear distance. Diabatic promotion of low lying states to the continuum in a two-electron, two-center system via a series of localized transitions is shown for the first time. Excellent agreement with experiments is found regarding single ionization in 50 eV to 1 keV H+H collisions. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
