Right. Almost all problems have more than one component. In problems like 
this one, the sum is the algebraic sum of all of the leakage paths. 
Relays DO have capacitively coupled leakage. I think I'm hearing numbers 
on the order of -60 dB, which is pretty respectable for an antenna relay 
or switch. I've measured numbers on the order of -50 - -55 with the Alpha 
Delta switches.
