Relationship among split view controller, tab bar controller, and multiple tableview controllers

Question

In my universal app with a split view controller at the top of the hierarchy, I want a tab bar controller with multiple table view controllers as the tabs. What should the storyboard and relationships look like?

I started with the default empty universal master/detail project. I got the standard split view controller with two navigation controllers pointing to the master table view controller and detail view controller. If I embed that master table view controller in a tab bar controller, that table view controller's detail view (actually, the detail view's navigation controller) remains the split view controller's detail view. When I add another table view controller and make it a tab of the tab bar controller, how to I hook that table view and its detail view to the split view controller? Whew.

Thanks!

If I understand your desired structure properly, the graphic below should illustrate the relationships you want. (Direct Link to Full-Res Image: http://cl.ly/image/0S3y3V3O0930/Screen%20Shot%202015-05-21%20at%202.28.29%20PM.png)
