This is an interesting issue that points out differences between the user view and the developer view.
For users, it should "just work" to connect multiple outputs to a single non-multiport. The user does not care that much about semantics, they just want their data to go to two actors.
However, Ptolemy developers are very concerned about semantics, and precisely what does it mean for data to go to two places. Usually the user just wants the data to be copied (cloned).
One hack would be to add a relation automatically, but that is wrong since it would make the model uglier.
