Secondary chiller in plant loop in 5ZoneVAV Chilledwaterstorage idf

In the EnergyPlus Example files for Chilled Water Storage-Mixed vs Stratified(5ZoneVAV-ChilledWaterStorage-Mixed.idf & 5ZoneVAV-ChilledWaterStorage-Stratified.idf), the Secondary chiller is present in the Mixed storage idf while only Primary in stratified idf file.
