RMSD for individual residue

Dear all,
I am calculating the average RMSD over time of each residue in a protein
molecule which has multiple chains (four ).(RMSD for individual residue
using residue_rmsd.tcl)
My question is whether we need to calculate the Average RMSD of each residue
for each individual chain or take it has whole (four chains ).

Because , when i did by both methods (taking the RMSD chain wise or as a
whole), i am getting different RMSD values for each residue . I am not
getting why there is a difference for individual residue and whether i need
to take the RMSD for individual residue at once or chain wise ?

Thank you
Gurunath
