This means that all effects on would-be subsequent invocations of @racket[my-odd?] and @racket[my-sqr] would simply not be performed.

+For a nonlinear flow like this one:

+(~>> (filter my-odd?)
+     (-< (map my-sqr __)
+         (map my-add1 __))
+     (map my-*)
+     (foldl + 0))
+]
+
+… as invocations of neither @racket[my-sqr] nor @racket[my-add1] are upstream of the other, there is no guarantee on the order of effects either, so that the effects associated with @racket[my-sqr] and @racket[my-add1] are in fact independent of one another.
+
+The effects on @racket[my-sqr] may happen first, or those on @racket[my-add1] may happen first, or they may be interleaved.
+
+But both of these effects would occur before the one on the corresponding @racket[my-*] invocation, since this is downstream of them both.
