I must respectfully disagree.  The only relationships between a primary
pool and a copy pool is the command backup storage pool or if you use
the option for simultaneous writes to the copy pool.  In my experience
an object will remain in one or more copy pools as long as it remains in
any primary pool.

Keep in mind the basic principle that an object remains in the
copypool ONLY as long as it the original object remains in the
primary pool, a tenet which you can use to advantage.
