You can do that with route profiles, but not the main mv_order_profile.
Feature request noted -- I think this will be good to add, but the
logic is sort of hard to define. If it is simply that all must pass,
and the *last* one must set &final, that might be done with this change
in the submit action:

    if( $CGI::values{mv_order_profile} ) {
	my @prof = grep $_, split /[\s\0,]+/, $CGI::values{mv_order_profile};
	for (@prof) {
	      ($status,$final,$missing) =
		  check_order($CGI::values{mv_order_profile});
	      last unless $status;
	}
    }
    else {
	$status = $final = 1;
    }

But you can see the problems with this -- the $missing thing is not
cumulative, etc. More code could solve it of course, but obviously care
must be taken; messing with this too much could screw up any number of
catalogs. 8-)
