Right, with one major exception. The stack scripts of the substacks will 
be in the message hierarchy when the stack is frontmost. The card 
scripts will not. Sometimes this makes a big difference.

If you omit the card reference, the engine assumes you mean the current 
card. So you can say: button "thisButton" of stack "thisStack"
