$original.original.orginal.original.... How to avoid this?

I'm working on a long pipeline that calls a number of child pipelines and passes a lot of data.  Is there some way that I can design the pipeline, so that my original documents values don't get buried in many layers of $original.original.original...  It's a constant battle to find the  data I started with, and every time I need to add a step, I have to also fix all the steps after.  I use jsonPath($,"$..columnName") sometimes, but I there are many columns of data.  Is there a better way?

    Hope this helps!
