p:store and default readable ports

I know that the p:store step does not have a primary output.  

My general question: 
	Does this mean that in a pipeline that flows in the default order (top to bottom of pipeline document), p:store cannot be used in the middle of things?  

My pipeline specifics:
	I have a pipeline that does an HTTP request.  I want to store the results of that request, AND I also want to perform some further processing on those results immediately after storing them.  
	The problem is that if I store them, p:store does not have a primary output, so the automatic flow of my pipeline stops.  :(
