That is correct. That is also exactly what happens -- by default, Netscape
opens a maximum of four simultaneous connections to the server, but you can
change this. The most obvious case is when you request a page that has
multiple different images in it -- the reason you often see the images being
built at the same time is that the browser is doing multiple requests. The
same reasoning applies to framed sites where the contents of the frames are
being downloaded at the same time.
