Another proposal which addresses the issue too (and is maybe easier to implement): What about some forwarding mechanism for blendif masks? This way one could reuse the mask of another instance or another plugin more downwards the pipe. Maybe it might even be a good idea to decouple (input only) mask creation from plugins.
RAW -> plugin 1 -> create blendif mask 1 -> plugin 2 -> create blendif mask 2 -> plugin 3 (using mask 2) -> plugin 4 (using mask 1) -> plugin 5 (using blendif mask based on its output) Is the idea clear? The blendif masks could even be combined (intersection ...) with regular masks.
