Modeling Subcatchments into subcatchments

Can you have a Subcatchment drain to another subcatchment before going to a pond in HydroCAD 8.0?

Just tried on 7.1, and it looks like you couldn't then.

You can combine their hydrographs into a Link, then route the Link into a Pond.

Hey, Peter, any chance of eliminating the Link?

You can add the flows with a link, reach, or pond. In your case, just route the two subcats to the pond. You don't need an intermediate link.
 
Of course, if the travel time of the flow from one subcatchment through another subcatchment is significant, one should model it as a reach so that the lag is accounted for when the hydrographs are ultimately added together.
