Does "raising from default" cross TL boundaries?

Simple question: if I'm buying, say, Armoury/TL9 (Small Arms), does Engineer/TL8 (Small Arms) count towards the point cost as per B173, Improving Skills from Default, minus the same cross-TL penalty as if I was "defaulting" to it on a skill roll?

Come to think of it, does defaulting cross the TL gap like that at all, or does it count as a "double default" (defaulting to Engineer/TL9, then pseudo-defaulting to Engineer/TL8)?

Does Armoury/TL8 count towards Armoury/TL9 similarly?
