this was one of the points that puzzled me. Because this feature
seems to combine several things, i.e sharing the plugins in "backwards
direction" and at the same time sending the output in "forward direction"
from track A to B. 

This seems a bit limiting, but there are workarounds:

- if I am not interested in the "plugin and mask sharing", I can
  mute the "source track" (track A) and only use the overlaid output
  on B
- if I am not interested in the shared output then I can hide it by
  using the normal track overlay: lets assume, track A is below and
  track B is above. If the overlay mode of track B is set to "normal"
  or to "replace", it will cover and thus hide the redirected output
  of track A (because it is calculated later and the redirected 
  output is overlaied first, when calculating the data of track A 
  -- did I guess this explanation right?)

cheers,
Hermann
