NOTE: this is a *reply* pathway. IMS is a *request*.

The IMS effectively stops at squid2. Whether squid2 does a new IMS for
itself or a full fetch from squid1 depends on whether squid2 already has
a copy of that object, whether that copy is fresh or stale or newer than
the IMS date.

All those considerations are calculated, then a request is either
satisfied by squid2 or a request created from a combination of the
squid2 and client requirements is passed to squid1. squid1 then does
its own handling on the request sent by squid2.
