A gravel pack system can include a manifold having at least three flow passages isolated from each other, with each of the passages intersecting a same lateral cross-section. A method can include displacing a service string, thereby controlling flow through ports that provide communication with a manifold exterior, the manifold including at least three flow passages, one port providing communication between one passage and the manifold exterior, and another port providing communication between another passage and the manifold exterior, and in one position of the service string, the one passage is in communication with a well annulus via another port providing communication with the manifold exterior, and the one passage is in communication with another well annulus via the one port, the annuli being isolated from each other by a packer, and the other port is in a seal bore and disposed longitudinally between the other ports.
