I actually was going to make a new thread asking for explanation of how to affect individual pups with the tone. If by this you mean individual pickups within a combination, the simple answer is that you can't. That tone control will always affect all the pickups in any combination (where it is included) one way or the other.

ok, I can get that. So, on a standard strat setup, when you are on N+M, both tones are affecting the sound? Would that be cumulative? I.e., If both tones are on 7, the resulting 'tone' might be 4?
I guess the non-simple answer is something to do with an active summing mixer.

If you're using 250k linear pots, then "7" is 175k. The R total of the two pots is 87.5k, which is "3.5." If both tones are on 7, the resulting 'tone' might be 4? Round about.

Yup, and in series combinations with individual Tones you get that "broadbucker" thing where the highs from one pickup are rolled off while those from the other are allowed to bypass the first and the combination comes out brighter overall.
In parallel mode you can try to "hide" the tone controls (and pickups) behind a volume control or series resistor to reduce this interaction, but this has its own trade offs.
The active mixer thing, properly implemented, could fix the parallel issue. Won't work in series mode, though.
