For anyone out there looking up this issue in the near or distant future- werter24's suggestion to my original post worked. Basically I:
1) created a Relationship between each prop and actor, while the prop was positioned in their arms which i moved into position, while already in basic <Walking slowly> pose.
2) creating above relationship automatically glued the props to the actors
3) When composing each shot, double-check or reapply relationship for each prop (sometimes the relationship would suddenly drop for no reason)
4) When you are ready to generate your tweens, click on Override Walks in the Shot Manager first. Restrict movement of the actor(s) arms while they perform the walking pose (see werter24's earlier post in this thread).
That should do it. Not perfect, but pretty good. Although I had to change the woman's props for carrying three items , to just carrying two. The 3rd item would not stick- I think because the program needs a free hand for each prop, even though in theory I should be able to glue several props together first, before creating the relationship and glueing the whole thing. But that never worked.
