Mar 25, 2012 at 19:23 comment added shurtados Thanks for that and for your answer. Do you know any example where the curves in the complement of $X$ don't have short length?

Made notation in last paragraph match notation in previous.
Mar 19, 2012 at 11:34 comment added Sam Nead Regarding the last paragraph - Suppose $\phi$ is pA in all of $S$, and $\sigma$ is pA in $X$, a strict subsurface. The lengths of the curves of $\partial X$ go to zero in $M_{\phi \sigma^n}$, as $n$ goes to infinity. But for curves in the complement of $X$, yet not in the boundary, their length does not go to zero.
