You've expressed yourself clearly, no worries there.
What your're contemplating is possible, but a bit complicated. The lack of responses likely isn't due to disinterest or miscommunication - it's that there aren't a ton of people who frequent the forum with an identical situation who can just post a working example for you to copy-paste. And remember that LCNC community is a group of people with no obligation to get involved with anyone else - other than what interests them.
On the bright side, there are some very helpful, shockingly bright people that frequent this forum. You aren't completely up the creek.
I don't have a known-working config to give you, although the lathe I'm working on will have a very similar feature (axis + spindle) when finished.
Rather than posting your files, I think the most productive thing is for you to research similar configurations posted on the forum. That's not the answer you likely want, but it'll help in the long run as you start to digest the logic.
Here's a series of posts where Andy Pugh helped a nice gent get his lathe working as a C-axis as well as a normal spindle. He was kind enough to post his entire config recently when I pestered him for it.

Download any attached config files you find, have a bit of a read, and when something doesn't make sense, post back here and I or someone can try to help you get some context.
