No.  If you want, you can use the same ett value for *all* subtrees in a 
dissector.  That'd mean that if you opened up any tree, and then 
selected another packet for the same protocol - or selected another 
packet and selected the original packet, all subtrees would be displayed 
as open, so that's probably not the best choice.  You don't have to use 
an ett value for each subtree, however - you'd probably just do it for 
each *type* of subtree.
