Possibly, but there seems to be some context missing, so I can't quite
grasp what you want to do. It does look a bit suspicious that you
aren't saving the objects generated by tklabel and tkentry though.

In general, the hierarchy between widgets is defined at widget
creation time, so why is there no 

answer.button1 <- tkbutton(frame.2,..whatever..)
