I think you are referring to the "Defer ID" which basically remembers which
logical/index objects that were not restored and allows you to use the
RSTDFROBJ "Restore Deferred Objects" command to clean them up.
The system has no other way I am aware of to resolve cross attached logical
files (extraordinarily bad practice in my opinion) and get them restored in
a full or even partial recovery.
I've written programs that Agile uses to find and deal with those types of
objects when we do recoveries for customers since it saves us work and the
customer money. Rebuilding access paths back when it was uncommon to have
multimillion row tables was OK, now, with schemas that can have multiple
tables with millions of rows in them, not so much. It can take quite some
time to rebuild those objects and properly done, the customer is down during
that rebuild.
Cross attached logical files, indexes, and views are just plain bad
practice.

There's something from IBM (in the O/S) that handles cross-library LFs-- it
keeps either the PF or the LF (whichever comes first) in a 'holding' state
until the 'other' library is restored. You get a message on the screen
during the restore. Then the system links them together. If that doesn't
work, you have to rebuild the indices.

Cross library logicals are always a hoot.
LIBA/LF1 points to LIBB/PF1
LIBB/LF2 points to LIBA/PF2
