Proxy extending proxy (Chaining Proxies)

Hello, is it expected behaviour for a proxy not to extend the face of another proxy ? I am attempting to create a sub-system in my main inventory system which requires extensive filtering, so my solution is to extend a proxy which is extending the inventory connector, and connect the Filtered Inventory Cable Connectors to said proxies.
While playing around, I managed to figure out a solution using an inventory connector.
I do think however that placing a hopper behind an Inventory Cable Connector however would be really useful. For example, to push filtered items into the inventory the cable connector is connected to. Being able to chain inventory proxies would also offer a convenient way to accomplish this as well :).
Chaining proxies is very much something I was expecting, a bit disappointed it is not (yet, hopefully). It would really make larger filtered systems more feasible and easier to manage.
this would probably be as easy as simply checking whether the block it's facing is a proxy and then just recursively getting the inventory the proxy is attached to until you get to the source block
you could update what it's connected to only when the proxy gets an update, to reduce lag
