I discovered some important rules about working with Engage's relational table features through trial and error and then confirming via support ticket requests through Silverpop's help desk.
You cannot update a relational table using a recurring update. You have to do it manually anytime you want to update a relational table stored in Engage.
You can only associate a relational table with a list, not with another relational table. You can associate as many relational tables with one list as you need as long as you provide the reference columns in the list to map the tables to.
Mailings that use a list generated by a query and not the actual list do not have access to the parent list's relational tables for personalization fields inside of the mailing. This is a big item to keep in mind when designing your lists. You can use a relational table associated with a list for either querying the list, or personalizing the mailing, but not both.
