Yes, because you created a new subprocess.Popen object.
If you want to communicate with ssh in the first subprocess you need  to 
send commands to stdin on p1. There are lots of examples how to 
read/write to stdin/out in the subprocess documentation. (I'm assuming 
that plink stays open, I've never used it so don't know)
