Nope. A common scenario is an aggregate containing a CasMultiplier acting as a collection reader, creating CASes to be processed by downstream components in the aggregate. The CAS input to the aggregate could contain a pointer to the collection to be processed, and could return the status of all processing when done.
If the aggregate is intended to return new CASes, the flow controller will have to indicate that when processing for each new CAS is finished.
