Hi Russ -

One way is to use order groups, which was broken in earlier releases of MV 
4.0x, but I understand it has been fixed (this is from the docs):

<FORM ACTION="[process-target]" METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_todo ACTION=refresh>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_order_group VALUE="1">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_order_item VALUE="00-0011">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_order_item VALUE="00-0011a">
<INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Order the Mona Lisa with frame">
</FORM>

You could make a field in the products db with a name like "auto_add", and 
fill it with a comma-delimited list of items to be ordered with the primary 
item, so that you could build the order group on the fly:

<FORM ACTION="[process-target]" METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_todo ACTION=refresh>
[if-field auto_add]
         <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_order_group VALUE="1">
         <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_order_item VALUE="[item-code]">
         [loop arg="[item-field auto_add]"]
                 <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_order_item VALUE="[loop-code]">
         [/loop]
[else]
         <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_order_item VALUE="[item-code]">
[/else]
[/if-field]
         <INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Order the Mona Lisa with frame">
</FORM>

The above code is untested, but it should be enough to give you the idea.

Good luck!
