I don't really understand what behavior you seek.

If the two are synced then they will share a playlist and will be
playing the same thing.  Any playback-related command given to either
one of them (i.e., skip track, etc.) input to either one will affect
both of them.  Whether or not power on/off and volume is synched is a
separate option, but the meaning of "sync" is that at least their
playback is synced.  

If they are not synced then they can maintain separate playlists and
operate independently of one another.  If you ever want to use the Touch
independently of the SB3 (and have it not affect the SB3's playlist) you
will need to un-sync the devices.  Then you'll have to re-sync them when
you want to tie them together again. 

When you establish a sync, you're saying "take this player (player A),
and make it mimic the playback of this other player (player B)".  In
that case, player A's playlist would go away, and it would begin to play
whatever player B is playing.  Player B was the "master" at the time of
establishing the sync insofar as player A lost its playlist and began
playing whatever player B was playing, but once the sync is established
there is no "master" player.  Both players are peers.  Any
playlist-related input to either player will affect BOTH players
equally.

There are a couple of handy modules that give you some extra flexibility
for syncing -- you should check them out:
