Yes. There's only one rule: when you open a file from disk, the whole 
file loads into RAM. If the file is a stack with substacks, they all 
load. If the file is a standalone with substacks, they all load. If the 
file is a standalone with separate stacks on disk, only the standalone 
file loads, and its disk stacks load individually as needed.
