Queue with a second Control Point in AGV path?

I am looking for a way to add a second AGV control point to a single Queue. When I add a second control point the AGV will pick from the first selected point and never from the second one. This was asked a couple of versions ago and I do not understand that answer. I am currently using 2018 Update 1.

This is because it finds the closest CP to the AGV based no the shortest path it needs to take. Here is an example model showing 2 AGV Systems with the same connections, just the CPs spaced out differently. agvclosestcp.fsm

Thank you for your quick response. That is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately the next control point in my path is the closest one but is passes it up. I am using the generic AGV process flow. Should i try this with a dispatcher instead? I included a pic of the area i am talking about.queue-with-2-control-points.png
