Thanks for the help guys...finally got it.  Success!

[Fleeting Frames]

It can be noted that a pump can draw fluid through a grate, but that's the only construction supporting it.

You know this, but lets be clear on terminology here: Grate isn't a Construction and doesn't provide Support - it is a passable building, and just about any building can hang in empty space (some might need to be built on floor, but it doesn't have to remain there)

Spoiler: "Here's an example of screw pump taking water from water wheel non-wall tile to perhaps disable it" (click to show/hide)

Correct usage of terminology is important for understanding. I'll try to learn and apply the lesson... The word "supporting" was a rather poor choice, with "permitting" as a better alternative, given the DF usage of the word "Support". I realize even that is wrong, though, as hatches are also said to permit drawing of water (I don't doubt it, but have not tried it myself), and your example shows a water wheel as well, so perhaps you can actually draw fluids through any kind of building?

[Fleeting Frames]

I imagine so, as long as it isn't through the building's impassable tile, which act as floors with statue on top at best and "walls"(will turn a high-speed minecart on corner, but not work for a ramp) at worse.
