Fair enough - the OOTP engine's history in recognizing paired ratings is not particularly impressive, and that's why I'm somewhat tentative about it.

It would essentially be adding doubles and triples to BABIP, so I don't see much reason to do that.
I wasn't particularly clear- I guess I'm not looking for a rating based on BIP, but rather on contact - thus it would differ by including HR's (strictly speaking, I'd be curious if all the BIP metrics include inside the park HR's). Its not particularly relevant here.
