If you are creating a script only stack then it can't be a substack. It is
a text file with the name of the stack and the code, nothing more.

You don't have to reorganize your stacks and alter the message path though.
Your stacks with UI elements in them can stay the same if you want. You
just move scripts (i.e. stack and card scripts) into script only stacks and
then assign the script only stacks as behaviors of the appropriate control.
The message path isn't affected at all.
