I'm new to this too, so my answer may not be the right one.

I have a feeling that your answer is in the ContactsObj1 object in page 2.

Look at the sample app's following properties for this object:

cParentBizObj
lCancelChildOnCancelParent
nrequerytype
postinithook

Also take a look at the view that feeds the data to this object (I think it's lv_contacts). It's parametrized.

Hope this helps!
