Pipe rulesets discussion

[SchlauFuchs]

Hi,

I try to verify my understanding of pipes and inputs and outputs in regards of precedence. Correct me if I am wrong:

From what I thought would be a rule is that an output of a building, like a pipe bridge can only release into a pipe if there is no flow, or to be more specific, the pipe tile before the output connector does not contain a liquid that can pass into the pipe tile under the output connector, or if they are the same liquid, they might merge if the pipe under the connector has less mass than the pipe maximum. 

If two outputs connectors are adjacent to each other connected to the same pipe, the first one in flow direction can starve the second one.

Now I noticed that an bridge was feeding into a pipe and taking precedence to the flow in the pipe connected to. I started to wonder.
