Hmm, you guys have given me some things to think about.  Perhaps "tabs" 
is an inappropriate metaphor to use here due to what it implies. Maybe 
simple navigation "buttons/links" would be better.

To add a bit more detail to the problem I am working on, and because I'm 
a geek and fanboy I'll give the following example which, while not 
directly related, illustrates (I think) the design problem I am working 
with:

Assume I have a collection of comics and comic related merchandise (I 
do) and my app keeps track of the value of these items.

    * The app itself lets me see a value for my total collection.
    * It then breaks it down into a few groupings, for example: comics,
      action figures, artwork, and I can see total values for each of
      these groupings
    * Within each of these groups I can further drill down (so, since I
      have an affinity for Batman and Tim Sale is one of my favorite
      artists) under "Comics" I could drill down to see the value of:
      Comics > Batman > Issues Drawn by Tim Sale


So, getting back to my question, if after drilling down within "Comics" 
I click on "Artwork" so I can see something there and then go back to 
"Comics" should I still see my drilled down results.
