I think there also needs to be a MatGetGlobalSubMatrix(), this would be a "smart" matrix that takes global indices. So for example if you have a DMComposite and in it two DMDA then you should be able to pull out either the matrices associated with the DMDA and index into them with global indices just like you had gotten the matrix directly from DMDACreateMatrix().
