Almost, but I've found the use of the term "in order to process" to be
ambiguous, so try to avoid it.  Instead, if you asked;

  So if a request contains a list of URIs and the server needs to deference
  all the URIs in order to understand the message, would you consider this
  stateful?

Then the answer would definitely be "Yes".

Mark.
