 > The Gateway controls the flow of both diverging and converging Sequence Flows. That is, a single Gateway could have multiple input and multiple output flows. Modelers and modeling tools might want to enforce a best practice of a Gateway only performing one of these functions. Thus, it would take two sequential Gateways to first converge and then to diverge the Sequence Flows.
-As the examples above illustrate, mixed gateways may make the diagram confusing or erroneus so it's better to avoid them. Split the mixed gateway into two - converging followed by diverging.
