Will a commandButton save action work for all <apex:form> elements on a page?

I have a call script page that has one <apex:form> element wrapping the content. However, I need to add an <apex:relatedList> element which apparently cannot be used inside of <apex:form> tags. My initial thought is to use different <apex:form> tag sets in order to insert the relatedList in between their usage.

My question is this... if you have multiple <apex:form> elements on a single page... will a commandButton with a {!save} action save all of them if not form ID is listed?

Oops, typo! The final question was:  If you have multiple <apex:form> elements on a single page... will a commandButton with a {!save} action save all of them if no form IDs are listed?

Unfortunately, from my expierence, only the fields in the same <form> section with the command button will be saved.

But if using standard controller extension and override SAVE method, you should be able to save all fields in different <form> section.
