If a workflow (in your example wf2) is violated, control is passed to a 
(possibly global) forward definition. This definition should execute an 
action that ends and thus cleans up all workflows that might be in 
progress and needs cleanup.

You can define any number of secondary workflow conditions. If you do, 
all these conditions must be met, otherwise a workflow violation will 
occur. If you want to be able to start wf2 in case either wf1 is in 
state x or wf3 is in state y, you would need two different action 
definitions.
