How to move objects from a clipping mask around artboard while retaining mask coloring?

I have a gradient in layer 1 (bottom) and a geometric pattern in layer 2. The geometric pattern is a compound path, which I then used to make a clipping mask. So far, everything is as I'd like it to be.

What I'd now like to do is rearrange my individual geometric pieces, while retaining the current gradient within it. I can move the geometric pieces in isolation mode, but that just moves them along the gradient, it doesn't take the gradient with it.

Here's a simplistic example - lower layer is stripes, top layer is triangles. I'd like to be able to swap the triangles around, rotate them, and have them retain the stripes that you currently see within each.

Is this possible?

Ares is right. You can duplicate your triangles, select them all, and using the Gradient Tool, drag across all the triangles to apply the stripes across all the triangles (I'm assuming the gradient has the color stops close to each other to make the stripes). Then you should be able to move the individual triangles with the gradient fill staying the same wherever you move it.
