Sorry, but that right there is what confused me. All the other programs using cascading billing with MPA/Nats whatever issue payment from inhouse

Odds are that someone from Epoch or Mansion could explain the technical aspect of this better than I could, but I'll take a stab at it. I can't speak for all programs, but I can tell you what SpookyCash is doing.
We set up a subaccount in CCBill and each corresponding product code in Epoch, for each of the sites in SpookyCash, such that each subaccount in CCBill posts back join data to the associated Epoch product code. This means that CCBill will continue paying affiliates for CCBill rebills under the old SpookyCash system, but Epoch will pay affiliates for new Epoch joins and rebills and new CCBill joins and rebills on the new system. This means that, if CCBill were not to pay me for a join you sent, Epoch would send you your share regardless. This doesn't trouble me because SpookyCash has always paid affiliates, regardless of what billers did in the past.
Epoch is using the same tried and trusted MPA3 technology to track your CCBill secondary processor joins that a program using MPA3 directly would use. So Epoch knows what to pay affiliates and then the SpookyCash program just has to collect from secondary billers, whether they are CCBill or Netbilling or Jettis etc. I might prefer to eventually bring the whole thing in-house, but, for now, it works exactly like any MPA3 program, except that Epoch cuts the checks or sends the wires or, starting in January, makes the card payments. Make sense?
