Exactly what I was looking for... Didn't know this "tunnel-function" exist...
Very useful, thanks a lot and have a good weekend..

I would not recommend reading the same file more than once unless you absolutely have to.

You can simply connect one feature type to multiple transformers:

That way the data only gets read once (it does get duplicated internally when you're splitting streams of course)

If you have a large, complex, workspace this can become a bit unwieldy so what you can do is right-click on a connection and choose "create tunnel"

That connection is then hidden from view, so it doesn't matter anymore whether both ends of the tunnel are very far apart.

I hope this is what you were looking for :)
