Sorry, I don't understand. The parent-child-relation you are refering to is 
not stored in shape files. It also has nothing to do with the sheet file, 
which basically is a list of shape references.
The parent-child-relation is stored in the diagram file. But it will only 
be created if the there is an object involoved which support can-parent 
like e.g. UML-LargePackage or an object from shape (modified with the 
<can-parent /> notation.
