Dave, You are basically correct if the popup flash is stronger than the slave and ambient isn't too strong. The problem is, that the reason to move the flash off camera is to make the main light not be direct. In your proposed approach, the popup becomes the main and the AF360FGZ becomes the fill. The desired lighting effect is probably not really what you are looking for. You either need something to control TTL on all flashes, including ratios or run all the lights manually and flash meter for correct exposure.
