sorry but sometimes  questoins occur to me when I am at work and unable to go check out the issue in Poser ....

I know that to create the AO effect on a Poser surface  you apply the AO node to the surface that will have the "shadow" on it.

For instance I have a figure sitting in  a chair, lit from above,  so the poser surface  of the seat cushion would have the AO node  so that  her legs  would be creating the shadow affect on the seat cushion.

BUT  will a poser surface cause on AO effect on itself  if part of the surface interrupts the light ? what I mean is, the figure's legs are crossed  in this scene,  and the leg that is  under  needs to show  a shadow effect on it due to the leg that is on top. so if i was to apply AO node to the posersurface "body"  would the poser surface take an AO effect caused by itself?

( hmmmmm  I suppose I could define the bottom leg ,only, as it's own  mat zone, couldn't  I )

Thanks
