What I usually do is set up two box hierarchies centred on the two BHs, but this doesn't guarantee that the outer levels don't change.  Instead, I would like to have three hierarchies, one for the outer levels, and two for the BHs, where the latter only contain boxes on the finest levels.  I would implement this by not setting the coarser radii for the BH hierarchies, and leaving them at -1.

Yes, I think this would work.  Thanks!
