Post From: Interactive Brokers -- SC instances

Hi, I would appreciate some explanation, how multiple SC instances are separated or connected while using IB as data and trade service.
It is documented here (http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/IB.php) "Multiple Concurrent Connections to TWS" that from the instance 0 you will "have access to all trade orders from TWS as well as orders entered from Sierra Chart".
Based on this I thought that any given instance of SC doesnt know about the orders and positions of the others. In reality, the instances are aware of positions, but doesnt know about working (attached) orders, Last Entry Trade DateTime and other details.
How exactly this works?
Thank you
