Oliver,
I guess you haven't. You cannot save a signal depending on the gate
it came through - all signals are put into a single queue and consumed
in the order in which they arrive.
You also cannot connect the gates to different services, since two
services must not consume the same signals. IOW, specifying two
services in a process that have input transitions for the same signal
is illegal.
If the signals arriving at these two ports should be distinguishable,
you need to define two different signals.
Hope this helps,
Martin
