FINAL CUT PRO - Sequences Within Sequences Can't Post

Here's MY question!!!
What's the deal when you make a sequence based on other sequences...is there NO way to de-compress the sequences within the main sequence to allow for Audio slides or dissolves etc...Like the Avid will allow you to drop sequences together...but the clips remain intact and easily alterable.
I would like to build sequences..then Change them in the main sequence..not always having to be locked into going Back to the original sequence...just deal with the clips.
Anyway..it's driving me nuts...and I'm afraid that's just the way that the program is written...simple, but unable to entirely flexible...am I wrong??!?

Answering my own question now....Final Cut pro DOESN'T do WHAT I want. Sure, you can put sequences in sequences - but you can't break down the sequence you dropped in to be clips again...the only way to edit the material is to go back into the sequences that made up the final sequence. A big pain in the butt..and a standard no-brainer on the old avid. Here's why I wanted this in the first place - you put a sequence in another and then you want to - maybe dissolve the audio in some unique way in and out...well...you might have to go back and add heads or tails on the first dropped in sequence and the revise the cut etc..etc...oh we can only pray for a simple revision on that one... took me 5 minutes to do something that should only be a few keystrokes...yeah..I know..."It's only $1,000 - quit complaining!"
