Not quite - If you drop the first call, the second (more recently
placed) is unaffected. The routeing that's lost is the routeing for
the first call. Not that this is recommended but:

place call 1
                 routeing is to first call

place call 2
                 roueteing is to second call, no route back to 1st call
terminate call 1
                 roueteing is still to second call
terminate call 2
                 no reouteing

Whereas:

place call 1
                 routeing is to first call

place call 2
                 roueteing is to second call, no route back to 1st call
terminate call 2
                 no routeing - this is not good at all
terminate call 1
