Pinlists with Pushbutton Contacts

Hi,
When I've added a aux contact block to a coil as part of a multipart component, the pinlist from the aux contact block is made 'available' to the parent and child so that the contacts can have the appropriate pin number.
Now, when I come to pushbuttons I don't get this - should I? I have a parent pushbutton contact and when I assign a catalog number I correctly get the pin numbers but I cannot get any pin numbers from any additional child contacts.
I have tried two ways of doing this:
1) I have assigned the parent a catalog number and a count of two - the child contact pin numbers are not available.
2) I have assigned the parent a catalog number and then an additional contact as a multipart catalog - the child contact pin numbers are still not available.
Am I going about this the wrong way or is it not possible to actually do this?
Thanks

I have noticed this http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/AutoCAD-Electrical/P
It looks good except that not all pushbuttons come with the same amount of contacts.
For example we use the modular variety where you'll use the pushbutton, base and 3 N/O contacts one time and then 1 N/O contacts another.
I would have thought if you add a component as part of a multicatalog part, ACADE would multiply the quanity of these components to make sure the correct amount of pins are available??!!??!!??
