Is it possible to chain ingest pipelines or create some sort of relationship between them?
For example, I would like to perform some calculations/modifications on all incoming documents, and then perform some business specific logic for some of the documents.
I don't want to have to copy the global logic to each and every pipeline - is there a way to "include" a pipeline in another pipeline? Or specify more than one pipeline via the API?

No but that could be a nice feature request to add IMO.
Like an ingest ingest processor.
