 * I have two custom post types. Each has their own separate set of meta custom 
   fields, but they have a 1:n relationship to each other. We’ll call them post 
   types A and B… B is a list of items, A is a list of items that will have an unknown
   number of B items within it. Each B item can only have one A item.
 * I’d like to have the permalinks behave, ( so [http://example.com/A-Item/B-Item](http://example.com/A-Item/B-Item))
   but I’m having trouble.
 * I have a work-around that makes everything work fine other than the permalinks(
   where A is referenced through a custom meta box from B) but I’d really love it
   if there was a better way.
 * Post type A cannot be a category (and we all know that using categories sucks
   for permalinks anyway)
