See the MoveAfterInTabOrder and MoveBeforeInTabOrder methods on
wx.Window() instances.  Generally speaking, controls will tend to only
cycle through themselves with tab on the same window/panel.  Nested
panels would require custom code to handle the tabs.

I believe there may have been a thread in this list a few months ago
discussing this particular topic.
