Almost, but I've found the use of the term "in order to process" to be
ambiguous, so try to avoid it.  Instead, if you asked;

  So if a request contains a list of URIs and the server needs to deference
  all the URIs in order to understand the message, would you consider this
  stateful?

Then the answer would definitely be "Yes".
