One of the things a Business Process Engine has to do is splitting and merging. Typical examples are purchase orders from a customer, which has to be dispatched to multiple backend systems (for example different factories) or also a market place can process the shopping cart of a custoemr, which means to ask all the suppliers for the availability of the product. This is the intereesting stuff one wants to do with a process engine, and this is exactly why we (here at Seeburger) picked a language like BPEL to do this. I think there is even a looping sample in the spec or in one of IBM'S tutorials whic his iterating over the position lines of a document.
