@Jennifer B

I would get rid of your list logic, and use a conditional port for your push strategy in Queue1. The condition would be current.subnodes.length > 1, true is port 2, false is port 1. The question is if there is already someone in processor1, does processor2 wait to work until it processor1 is done?

Processor2 waits to run until Processor1 ends.

The two processors cannot work at the same time

If you do not want them working at the same time, I would use process flow.

Here is an example:
