You want your compound control to be a gateway to the other controls by creating dependancy properties which are exposed to the outside world. Within the control itself you then have the inner controls bind their properties to the exposed dependancy properties which were created. That way you have the outside world able to bind to specific items on the control, while passing that information on to your target inner controls.

I use Jeff Wilcox's Silverlight dependency snippets to quickly create the properties on both WPF and Silverlight projects.
