Receive shape hierarchy

I have implemented a message aggregator which basically works like this:
1) It receives an initial message
2) It starts looping to receive all the subsequent messages.

So, in my orchestration I've got two receive shapes (initial resp subsequent
message) and my question is how the server engine knows which receive shape
that should be picked up by the initial receive shape? Is there some receive
hierarchy that tells the engine that the subsequent receiver should be
"asked" to receive before the message is sent to the initial receiver.

Don't know if this is described vey well? But please tell me what you think!

Thanks!

I found out how it works...

For this orchestration to compile, the second receive shape must follow some
previously initialized correlation set (this is just a requirement to avoid
ambigious scenarios). Then if that's the case, the problem is out of the
world.
