Possibly assign two actions for one mouse button

I recently downloaded a mouse configuration from Logitech for my Logitech mouse. I already had USB Overdrive and MouseZoom installed, but I was curious if it had any new features.

With USB Overdrive, I have set the scroll wheel button to perform "auto-scroll." Logitech's Contol Center software has an option called "click lock," which is handy for dragging files or selecting text without having to hold the left button. I thought that setting the scroll wheel button to perform this action would override USB Overdrive's auto-scroll action or vice versa, but to my surprise, both actions work. Auto-scroll is active when clicking the scroll wheel in a window's scroll bar, and "click lock" is active within in the window itself.

There is a downside: due to Logitech's Control Center, you can no longer configure the mouse speed in USB Overdrive. However, it still works in MouseZoom. The acceleration settings in USB Overdrive still work, too.
