How about this scenario:

func A()

begin
  x  =  func B();
  y  =  func C();

  z = func D();

end

Where func A, B, C, and D all update the db.  If a funciton is raised
in func D(), will all the transactions in the other children be rolled
back?
Or do I need to add code to enable this?

Any exception aborts the transaction. That's how exceptions work. If you don't
catch them, they bubble all the way to the surface. Otherwise it would be too
much like if-statement error checking.
