To quote from RFC 2616 (section 8.1.1):

"HTTP requests and responses can be pipelined on a connection.
 Pipelining allows a client to make multiple requests without
 waiting for each response, allowing a single TCP connection to
 be used much more efficiently, with much lower elapsed time."

And in 8.1.2:

"A significant difference between HTTP/1.1 and earlier versions of
HTTP is that persistent connections are the default behavior of any
HTTP connection. That is, unless otherwise indicated, the client
SHOULD assume that the server will maintain a persistent connection,
even after error responses from the server."

> processed the last

Can you tell us where in the Tomcat code such a restriction is
implemented?  I haven't been able to find it, although I'm certainly not
an expert on Tomcat internals.
