  In a multi-planet system, a gradual change in one planet's semi-major axis
will affect the eccentricities of all the planets, as angular momentum is
distributed via secular interactions. If tidal dissipation in the planet is the
cause of the change in semi-major axis, it also damps that planet's
eccentricity, which in turn also contributes to the evolution of all the
eccentricities. Formulae quantifying the combined effects on the whole system
due to semi-major axis changes, as well as eccentricity damping, are derived
here for a two-planet system. The CoRoT 7 system is considered as an example.
