In an electrical circuit analogy, I believe a current source (as opposed to a voltage source) more accurately represents the oil pump. Just as a current source delivers current independent of voltage, a positive displacement pump delivers flow independent of pressure. If needed, a zener can be added in parallel with the current source to simulate the oil pressure bypass.
With this analogy, added parallel resistance (as in another oil path), reduces the current (flow) in the other circuits (oil paths).
