Hi Cyrus, thanks for the reply.  Perhaps down the road there could be the
option to include one or more related resources of any type during the
creation of a single resource.  I remember that the drag and drop document
inclusion automatically creates a new document resource in addition (and
related) to the resource that was originally being created.  Maybe the same
underlying concept could be applied to any number of new resources in a
more programmatic, less UI way.  I have a feeling I'll need to learn a lot
more PostGIS/SQL...
