Short version:
Should it not be possible to set up a large stockpile with multiple small stockpiles pulling materials from it?

Long version:
I have a large stockpile for dropping off all my liquor.  (Food, allows only Plant booze).  Lets call it stockpile 1.
I have other, small stockpiles with the same settings.  Lets call them 2, 3 and 4.

I can do this if I feel like being sadistic, and it should work.  (-> means the stockpile to the right takes from the stockpile from the left.
1->2->3->4.

This will keep all the small stockpiles full of booze, but will keep those haulers hauling overtime.

This won't work:
1->2,1->3,1->4

The reason it won't work is if I set those up in that order, the last one in will win, meaning that 1->4 is the only supply chain set up.

This has been mentioned in the past, but is it supposed to be like that?  Nothing on the bug list jumped out at me.

Yeah, there were some annoyances setting it up, so right now a stockpile can be set to receive goods from multiple piles, but it can't send them out to multiple piles.  I don't recall specifically what the issues were.
