Dave,

Either option is plausible, but the first is probably preferable. I would 
recommend the Python script should add an attribute to each flowfile with some 
flag or indicator (i.e. which virtual relationship it would follow) and have a 
single connection out of the ExecuteScript processor for success connected to a 
RouteOnAttribute processor. This processor is designed to have multiple 
outgoing connections and will route the incoming flowfiles based on attributes, 
as the name would indicate.

Doing this the second way would require additional coding in the Python script 
to reference new relationships, and this can be tricky.

Matt Burgess has some good examples of using Python scripts in the 
ExecuteScript processor on his blog [1].
