    Does a composite query count as 1 transaction or multiple transactions? 

    For example is the below query 1 transaction or 6?

    1 transaction.

    Every HTTP call with 200 response status code is 1 transaction.

    But if you follow the next link explicitly/implicitly, it will cost extra transactions for each response. You can use fiddler to see how many http call your code made.
