Can I call runNext() multiple times?

I was wandering if the library was thought to being able to run the next block multiple times.
And if yes, when one should call the end() function (if the last block is called multiple times)?

Basically you can do what you want with ’runNext()’
My idea is to add a "counter" in additional data and check it, when it reaches a certain value, then call end() function.

The problem with this is that if I change (let's say) a boolean in the me.parameters the first iteration, the second one will override that boolean:

Me.start { (me) in
    MyAPI.posts { posts in
        for (index, post) in posts.enumerated() {
            if let post = post {
                me.parameters["post"] = post
                me.parameters["stop"] = index < (posts.count - 1) ? false : true
                me.runNext()
            }
        }
    }
}.next { (caller, me) in
    MyAPI.likes(post: caller.parameters["post"]) {
        if caller?.parameters["stop"] as! Bool == true {
            me.end()
        }
    }
}.run()

And caller?.parameters["stop"] will be always true cause the next block is called asynchronously and the for has already iterated again.

Did I get your advice in a wrong way? Thanks

What if:

next { (caller, me) in
    let shouldStop = caller!.parameters["stop"]

    MyAPI.likes(post: caller.parameters["post"]) {
        if shouldStop as! Bool == true {
            me.end()
        }
    }
}.run()

Yeah that should work, thanks! 👍
