Well...define "attached". :) To me, that sounds like substacks, which 
are an integral part of the stackfile. Separate independent stacks 
aren't attached, they're free agents in their own files.

Like Richard, I never use the Standalone Builder option that decouples 
substacks. I create independent stacks from the beginning when I know my 
app will have to save data to them. I find it much easier to keep the 
satellite stacks separate during development so that I can ensure my 
file path calculations work, and that the stacks open correctly. I tend 
to embed substacks only for things like dialogs, tool palettes, and 
other application pieces that will never change.
