Let me recap to make sure I understand. If I'm essentially correct, no reply needed.
When you create a primary key on a table that creates (or is) a unique index on the field(s)
When you reference that primary key in another table as a foreign key, a non-unique index is automatically created along with the foreign key constraints
Finally, compound indexes will out-perform single indexes when the compound indexes match the selectivity requirements of the queries
