I'm customizing the admin on a new WP site, and I am creating an over-arching custom post type, that will allow the admin to create pages for the site. I want them to be able to pull values from other custom post types and set them here. I'm struggling to find good documentation on how to do this though. I can create multiple custom post types without a problem, just unsure how to pull the values of post_type_y into the meta_options for post_type_x.
Any and all help is appreciated!

Since I can't 'comment' on your question, I'll do my best to answer it as I understand it..
There's a plugin posts to posts that will allow you to associate Post 1 with Post 2. It's a little clunky, but gets the job done.
If you're looking to associate tags, categories or whatever between multiple post-types, I prefer using custom taxonomies as they are relatively easy to implement.
Sample Custom Taxonomy:
function languages_init() {
// create a new taxonomy
register_taxonomy(
'languages',
array('post','clients','positions','projects'), // Set various post-types
array(
'label' => __( 'Languages' ),
'sort' => true,
'args' => array( 'orderby' => 'term_order' ),
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'language' )
)
);
}
add_action( 'init', 'languages_init' );
