Steps of transformation

I am writing a specification and software for automatic transformation of XML documents based on namespace info.

Lets denote the automatic transformation as A.

There are also "manual" (with transformation script or scripts explicitly specified) transformations M1, ..., Mn.

I can compose them into a new transformation like:

M1 -> A -> M2 -> A -> M3 -> ... -> A -> Mn.

My question: Does it really make sense to run automatic transformation A more than once?

Maybe the following is enough:

M1 -> A -> Mn.

Please give an advise.
