I'm trying to make use of Subnets when modeling.
Suppose I model some abstract shape, there are a series of extrusions, edits etc. I make those nodes into a subnet group. How can I add another object which contains extrusions etc to a port on the subnet all the while it belongs to the subnet and belongs to the object contained within the subnet group ? This may be easy but I'm a little stuck on the workflow ?

not quite sure what you're asking…
when talking about modeling it's important to make a distinction between an ‘object’ and ‘geometry’
when you are in SOPs (Surface Operators) you are creating/editing ‘geometry’, but you are doing all of this inside an ‘Object’
I have a feeling you're looking for an Object Merge SOP - phrasing the question differently or even a sample file would help.

add a SOP to the second (or 3rd, 4th) input of the subnet and then go inside the subnet…
you'll see little node like things with names like “Sub-Network Input #1” etc…
and under those names will be the names of the SOPs that are currently connected to those inputs.
treat these node input thingys just like regular SOPs - you can wire them to new SOPs, merge them together with a merge SOP etc…

re your file - No, the transform node will not have any effect on anything. subnets have more than one Input but only one Output, so the transform node will only act on the geometry of the display node inside the subnet - in the case the edit2 node.
