Yup, you got it. Actually, this is the central "light bulb" of Poser itself: the separation of BODY from the real body in a CR2. Without that separation of rotations, gimbal lock would prevent you from doing just about anything! Out of curiosity: the basic problem here reminds me of some old mechanical gadgets like a Planimeter, or the disk-and-ball integrator in ancient mechanical analog computers. Are you thinking along those lines?
