RequestDispatcher forward and include methods

afaik, forward method of RequestDispatcher transfers control to the forwarded servlet. means one can never come back to the fowarding servlet.
however, i don't get why the last statement in the following forwarding servlet was executed after using RequestDispatcher's  forward method.

forwarding servlet code:
-------------------------

out.println("<font color=\"ff0000\"><h2>This text is from TallyPage1</font>\n<br><p>");
      RequestDispatcher r = getServletContext().getNamedDispatcher("Tally");
     r.forward(req, resp);
 out.println("<font color=\"ff0000\"><h4>This line is after forward method</font>\n<br><p>");


forwarded servlet code:
----------------------
out.println("in forwarded servlet");

i shouln't see the last line in forwarding serlvet being displayed on the browser.

thanks for all your help.
