In this case it doesn’t matter.

You’re really studied the Tutorial and Concepts Guide, in particular http://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.6/C/gnucash-guide/txns-registers1.html#txns-registers-multiaccount2 and something doesn’t make sense or work right? What specifically are you trying and what is going wrong?
