Control Container causes error "loop in tool connections" where regular container works ok

Can anyone explain why this configuration is considered a LOOP by the Control Container - yet the process runs fine within a regular Container?
I intended to make two Control Containers of a similar nature and chain them in order, simply because they write to the same audit file, and thought to use them rather than an arbitrary Block Until Done scenario.

This is a previous related topic where the author said there was a missing connection somewhere.

If AMP engine is turned off as suggested in other thread then

Error: Control Container (51): Control Containers are not supported in the original engine, enable AMP Engine to use this functionality.

And I don't believe there are any "missing connections" as mentioned in other thread as a working flow was simply wrapped in a Control Container...

(unless the Control Container REQUIRES some input/output connection??)
