From memory (not to be trusted), you can smartparent the BODY actor (only) to to any actor in another figure. There is one rather big catch, if you delete either the parent or child figure Poser will crash!

Parenting can be set by the application of a pz2 file, and this is probably a better option, even though it is not as convieniant.

Another thought, is there any reason why the things to be parented can't be implimented as props? Mac, I know you have much more experience than me at rooms, but my favorite method to make a room is to use a "ghost" base figure with no geometry, then have all the other parts as props parented to that. There are no problems with smartparent for props, and with none-organic things there in not much that you can do with a figure that you can't do with a prop. You can even save the prop to a Figures folder with a cr2 extension (or visa versa) to keep all the elements together in one loaction.
