With cloneField() you'll be able to clone field1 into
as many fields as necessary. field1.1 and field1.2
will "inherit" field1 text/html content (if available)
but will not inherit the child object that's
associcated with it. 

it's like this:

before clone:

{@field1}

after clone:

{@field1}{@field1.1}{@field1.2}
