Connecting scale, and maintaining keyframes values

I would like to connect the scale property of "Layer 1" to the second layer with this expression: thisComp.layer("Layer 2").transform.scale. Is there a way to maintain the value of the scale keyframes relative to the new scale of the "Layer 2".

There's more than one way to interpret what you're asking for, but maybe like this:

s = thisComp.layer("Layer 2").transform.scale/100;
[value[0]*s[0],value[1]*s[1]]

I guess for rotation you could do this:

r = thisComp.layer("Layer 2").transform.rotation;
value + r

and this for opacity:

t = thisComp.layer("Layer 2").transform.opacity/100;
value*t

but postion is trickier. For position you need a reference point, and how you'd implement that would depend on exactly what you're looking for.

Thanks Dan, this works great. How would you adapt this expression to position, rotation, and transparency, maintaining relative values?
