[ODE] Combining inertias

Not specifically an ODE question: how does one combine the 
inertias of different bodies? Say I have two boxes connected by 
a cylinder. I have inertias for all three, but now I need to 
combine them into a single rigid body. Can I just add the 
components of the inertia matrices?

Thanks,
