swfc is not able to implicitly calculate coordinates (that's a TODO), 
but you can always use sprites to place objects relatively to each other:

    .sprite myboxspr
        .box mybox ...
        .put mybox
    
        .button mybutton ..
        .put button x=30 y=30 # relative to mybox/myboxspr
    .end
    
    .put myboxspr x=100 y=100
