It is fairly daft to have a substack with the same name as the 
mainstack: things are bound to get
confused sooner rather than later.

If it is important that the mainstack and the substack have the same 
thing written in their title
bars then give them different names but make sure their titles are the same.

After all if one has 2 stacks with the same name (whether 2 mainstacks, 
2 substacks or ... ), for instance
called "SAMENAME", and you execute something like this:

set the backgroundColor of stack "SAMENAME" to pink

all sorts of things could ensue . . .   :)
