Subject: Can poses for V4 also include poses for another figure parented to her?

I'm experimenting with poses and was wondering if a pose I create for v4 will also include the pose for a figure that's parented to her?  For example, I have a cuff figure that has 3 parts, the cuff is parented to v4's lShldr body part.  If I pose v4, with her arm in a position and also pose the cuff with it's moving parts in a certain position, can I save the pose for V4 (by default, the cuff and it's parts are in the subset) and when I apply the pose to v4, the cuffs will also pose?  I have tried an experiment with this and it doesn't seem to work, the cuffs move with the arm because it's parented, but the other parts on the cuff do not pose. I also would like to have any morphs I apply on the cuffs also carry through.   Any thoughts?

Poser only applies a pose to one figure at a time. You'd have to apply a pose to the parent and child figure in separate actions. There might be a way to make it happen with python but I've never even experimented with that.

Thank you Nerd! 

I have been trying to figure it out, I wouldn't even know where to begin to try and hack the pz2 files to cut/paste one into the other.   I wound up doing what you mentioned, pose for each, which is what I do standard anyway.  It would be nice to streamline the process to one pose.
