When does that column get filled in?

 From my experiments it only seem to happen when I put a URL to 
the image in a post.

(note that I'm doing this from a blog editor that first uploads 
the image and then allows me to use the URL to this image)

Also, I took a quick look at the database schema - am I correct 
that that each image can have one parent? What happens if I use 
one picture in two different posts, will I be able to find the 
image using get_child from both these posts?
