Mixing SyncServices sync modes?



The SyncServices API seems to allow the sync server to ask you to do different sync operations on different entities. This seems pretty crazy, though, since those entities could be related strongly. For example, if I have three different entities, and I get the following results from ISyncSession:

-shouldPushChangesForEntityName:@"A" -> NO // don't push ANY records for this entity (i.e., we are getting a pull-the-truth)

-shouldPushChangesForEntityName:@"B" -> YES
-shouldPushAllRecordsForEntityName:@"B" -> NO // slow sync this entity

-shouldPushChangesForEntityName:@"C" -> YES
-shouldPushAllRecordsForEntityName:@"C" -> YES // fast sync this entity

Now, it could be that A has relationships to B and C. Mixing fast & slow sync seems somewhat reasonable, but mixing pull-the-truth with any other sync mode seems like crazy talk!

Does anyone know of any guarantees about what mixture of sync modes we can expect?
