"for the same SOAP message", right. It's a new message when it progresses any further, since the transfer contract with the sender has been fulfilled. The processing model basically halts at the ultimate receiver because of this. Hmm, perhaps the SOAP 1.2 spec could be clearer. There's some subtlety around this that's important for gateway intermediaries. I'll look into it, and perhaps submit a comment to XMLP if I find anything. Thanks for pointing that out.
