Look at the GFCI as a relay-type device.  When it is wired as yours is, 
the wires that appear to be just parallel wires to the next socket are 
really "downstream" of the relay.  So, when that relay trips, it opens 
the circuit for the GFCI outlets as well as the circuit leading to the 
next socket in the parallel string.  It really isn't just an isolated 
device in parallel with other sockets.
