parasitic extraction question on sub-blocks using top-level RCE

Hi,

If I have a RCE .spf file for a top level cell (for example Cell A) which is comprised of multiple sub-blocks, can I use this same RCE file on simulations where I am only using sub blocks in a test bench? 

To clarify in an example:
Assume the top level cell (Cell A) is comprised of sub-blocks X, Y, and Z, and I only have the parasitic extraction of Cell A (top level). Now let's say I have a new test bench that is only simulating sub-block Y and miscellaneous logic. Can I include this SAME RCE of the top-level Cell A in the .spf files and if so, will Cadence be able to pull the appropriate parasitic data on the nets that I have?
