1.The object definition will be placed in the same file as the object definition of its parent.

2.The object definition will be placed after the definition of its parent

3.The object definition will be inserted after the definition of all other objects already defined in the file.

This placement will affect the tabbing order.  You must edit tabbing order outside of the Layout Editor by rearranging the order of definitions of siblings.

Keeping a large region or dialog box and its children in a file by itself makes it easier to manage.
