 * Hi, I’m actually new to WordPress and pHp in general. I’m currently a student(
   so take it easy on me, because I’m bound to be doing things incorrectly).
 * I currently have written 2 network plugins for use on an intranet site. What 
   I want to do is place all of my custom plugins in 1 top-level admin menu. It’s
   easy enough if I do the following:
 *     ```
       add_menu_page('Plugin Title', 'Page Title', 'Capability', 'Menu Slug', 'Function');
               add_submenu_page('Parent Slug','Page Title','Menu Title','manage_options','Menu Slug','Function');
               add_submenu_page('Parent Slug','Page Title','Menu Title','manage_options','Menu Slug','Function');
       ```
   
 * This gives me a nice little layout of the top menu, and 3 sub-menu links (1 being
   the same as the top).
 * The problem I’m having is activating submenu items from the plugins themselves.
   Right now the two plugin are independent of eachother, and this third plugin 
   is basically just a menu, with a list of active plugins for reference at the 
   moment. Ideally I’d like to activate the menu links within the plugins so I don’t
   have to update the source code for the menu all the time. This way any plugins
   developed in the future could just hop on to that top-level menu item.
 * Any ideas?
