Backflushing with multiple steps and outputs in a process

We have a process (process manufacturing is being used) with 2 steps. The first has a by-product coming from it, the second has several co-products. Both steps are required to backflush labour and overhead. The step paypoint codes are set to Backflush (B). If we do a super back flush for the bi product, the labour is backflushed correctly. Similarly the superbackflush for the co-product backflushes that step correctly. The problem is, the first step never backflushes for the production that has gone onto the second step.

By changing the pay point flag on the first step to 0, output from the second step backflushes both steps, but the output of the by product on the first step does not cause a backflush.

Is there a way of recording the output from the first step that goes into the second step, and backflushes the first step.

Is there a way of backflushing both steps for both outputs?

The only way I can see of achieving the correct result is with an additional manual time and cost entry for the first step. As all the outputs are collected from a shop floor device and processed through a superbackflush via a z-file,I don't want to do this.
 
Did you ever resolve this, or did anyone every provide any direction?
