// .NAME vtkSMCompoundSourceProxy - a proxy excapsulation a pipeline of proxies.
// .SECTION Description
// vtkSMCompoundSourceProxy is a proxy that allows grouping of multiple proxies.
// vtkSMProxy has also this capability since a proxy can have sub-proxies.
// However, vtkSMProxy does not allow public access to these proxies. The
// only access is through exposed properties. The main reason behind this
// is consistency. There are proxies that will not work if the program
// accesses the sub-proxies directly. The main purpose of
// vtkSMCompoundSourceProxy is to provide an interface to access the
// sub-proxies. The compound proxy also maintains the connections between
// subproxies. This makes it possible to encapsulate a pipeline into a single
// proxy. Since vtkSMCompoundSourceProxy is a vtkSMSourceProxy, it can be
// directly used to input to other filters, representations etc.
// vtkSMCompoundSourceProxy provides API to exposed properties from sub proxies
// as well as output ports of the subproxies.
