automapping

I know it's AutoMapper and not AutoMerge(r), but...

I've started using AutoMapper and have a need to Map A -> B, and to add some properties from C so that B become a kind of flat composite of A + C.

Is this possible in AutoMapper of should I just use AutoMapper to do the heavy lifting then manually map on the extra properties?
