I haven't had a chance to read your message in detail yet, but there
are two basic ways of placing indexes on subfiles: either you can index
the elements of a single subentry (much like cross-reference on a top
level file), or you can create a whole-file cross-reference. If you had
HOTEL file with a ROOM subfile and a GUEST field in the ROOM subfile,
the first type of cross-reference just create an index containing the
names of the guests in a single room. The second type of index (which
effectively flattens the subfile mapping) will tell you that guest no.
7 is Jane Doe and she is room 334, so there are is basically an extra
subscript level in the index for each level of subfile nesting.
