Nested "Place Linked" Files in Photoshop and InDesign: AutoUpdate?

I have a bunch of photoshop files, which I'm then using for a layout in InDesign. Some of the files have 3 or 4 files placed as linked files (e.g. face.psd is placed in person.psd, is placed in persondrivingcar.psd is placed into streetscene.psd and streetscene.psd is placed in an InDesign layout)-- all placements are linked not embedded). If I make a change to a file, say face.psd, so I need to open and resave all the placed files for that to update, or will the fully updated versions show up in Indesign?
If InDesign won't update automatically, do I need to go all the way through and open and resave every single file or can I just open the final file that goes into InDesign?
There are lots and lots of nesting things in this project and the nestings overlap, so I'm worried that if I attempt to just open and resave the higher level files if I change something, that I will forget something. Or that if I just reopen every single PSD and resave, I will do it in the wrong order somehow and something won't update.
