// .NAME vtkSequencePass - Execute render passes sequentially.
// .SECTION Description
// vtkSequencePass executes a list of render passes sequentially.
// This class allows to define a sequence of render passes at run time.
// The other solution to write a sequence of render passes is to write an
// effective subclass of vtkRenderPass.
//
// As vtkSequencePass is a vtkRenderPass itself, it is possible to have a
// hierarchy of render passes built at runtime.
// .SECTION See Also
// vtkRenderPass
