To follow up.. I just copied a file from my home folder (which doesn't 
have ACL's on it or anything) the file was set  to a folder that does. 
It kept the original attributes of the file.

The files original permissions were -rw-r-----, when i copied it, it 
kept those permissions.

It does inherit the proper group though!  yay for that.

Is there a way to do what I'm asking? .. or am I headed down a bad 
direction?
