alwaysLoadData logical
specifies whether to load the flow raw data for gating
for boolean gates, sometime it is more efficient to skip loading the raw data if all the reference nodes and parent are already gates
Default 'FALSE' will check the parent node and reference to determine whether to load the data
but this check may not be sufficient since the further upstream ancestor nodes may not be gated yet
In that case, we allow the gating to be failed and prompt user to recompute those nodes explictily
When TRUE, then it forces data to be loaded to guarantee the gating process to be uninterrupted
, yet may at the cost of unnecessary data IO
