Your composition actually loads and renders both compositions on my system,
once I load the XML file. That actually surprised the heck out of me! I'm
not sure if that has always worked (it does sound like it's not working on
your system.)

Attempting to do what you're doing via the iterator is a logical idea,
because it seems like a way to get dynamic layer count, but I would be wary
of it, because some patches may not perform as expected in the iterator. I
tend to think if you end up doing post processing on the images, it will get
tedious to do the per index logic inside the iterator to have effects apply
to only a given index, or range or indices, and that CI will likely start
bogging down (you never know until you try with this particular setup
though, don't let me discourage you).

I would likely decide whatever my maximum layer count is going to be and
wire up that many chains, while avoiding the iterator, if i was trying to
get the best performance possible.
