Back-to-Back Pipleine calls: Do they run in parallel or sequentially?

Question

I am trying to simplify some of my more lengthy pipelines by breaking them up into logical sections and then calling each one separately.  Basically:

Parent Pipeline

call pipeline 1
call pipeline 2
call pipeline 3

They need to run sequentially. However, I just did my first run and based on the view windows for the pipelines involved, it appears they run in parallel.  As soon as the parent pipeline kicks off pipeline 1, it immediately kicks of pipeline 2, and then pipeline 3, without waiting for the previous pipeline to finish.
I could not find any documentation or previous posts on how these callable pipelines run so was wondering if anybody else could shed some light on this.

Thanks....Aaron------------------------------Aaron Bab1692@att.com------------------------------

They will only run sequentially if you have the last step of the first pipeline call the second pipeline. Calling a Pipeline will cost you a step run, so unless you don't care about step runs based on your plan, or you don't need to pass any values from one to the other, you can just say have a date time field on an admin record and use that to trigger the pipelines.
