I agree with Jacek, there is no such limitation in SOAP 1.2. The definition for a SOAP MEP allows multiple nodes and multiple messages. As per the SOAP 1.2 spec, part 1, terminology section: "SOAP message exchange pattern (MEP) A template for the exchange of SOAP messages between SOAP nodes enabled by one or more underlying SOAP protocol bindings [...]."
