Umm..

[1] I can't try it out right now, but I remember reading that 
page_attachments searches up the tree (of parents) to find if something 
matches the name.

[2] I can't try it right now, but Radiant/ Radius allow you to do a 
find_by_url for a page and that switches the Radius context to the page 
that you just found.  After that, using page_attachments tags should 
mean that they search local to the page you just found.  That would 
allow you to reference the attachment of the other page.

Like I said, I can't try these out right now, so I'm not sure if they 
work.  Sean, of course, could confirm :D

Cheers,
Mohit.
