You are wanting gnc to consolidate more than one "book" in gnc terms.

I want to do the same thing too for fund accounting / non profit / 
charity.

You and I are both clever enough to force a gnc book to our liking, the 
question is should we be doing that?

I may be wrong but your model seems to break as soon as it is used in a 
non static way.

My model acknowledges real life and transactions happening.
