Default Connecting to a connector

Is it possible to glue a connector to a point (other than an endpoint)
on another connector? I know it is, because somehow I did it. I just
can't figure out how I did it -- and I need to do it again!

The diagram is simple. What follows is a verbal description. If you
can follow it, you’re a far better man than I. So if you like, I've
posted the file itself for download at:

http://www.speakeasy.org/~mtangard/temp.htm

It’s technically a flowchart but with arrowless connectors (because it’s
actually a too-simple org chart).

One long vertical connector links 2 big boxes at the top & bottom of the
page. Two other smaller boxes lie to the right and left of that
connector, and must be connected to it, at different points.

On the left side, I made a connection point ON the vertical connector
and dragged a connector to it from the left box. The connection point
glowed nice & red (meaning, glued), and if I drag the box, it stays
glued. That was yesterday.

When I do the same thing today for the right-hand box, it also claims to
be glued (glows red), but if I drag the box, its connector lets go of
the vertical one without protest, as if it ISN'T glued.

What have I omitted to do? And what is the approved method for
attaching a connector to the middle of another?

TIA

Under Tools Snap & Glue, enable glue to geometry.
