I trying out a new, to me, build. Using the Sap adept/master tree.
Do these work together?
Scout’s Charge (Ex)
At 4th level, whenever a scout makes a charge, her attack deals sneak attack damage as if the target were flat-footed. Foes with uncanny dodge are immune to this ability.
This ability replaces uncanny dodge.
-and-
Sap Master (Combat)
Prerequisite: Sneak attack +3d6, Sap Adept.
Benefit: Whenever you use a bludgeoning weapon to deal nonlethal sneak attack damage to a flat-footed opponent, roll your sneak attack dice twice, totaling the results as your nonlethal sneak attack damage for that attack.
A question came up at our table that the Scout's Charge might not let Sap Master work off of it because the person questioning it remembered reading somewhere that the 'as if' portion of Scout's Charge would not allow it to work. Granted they could not remember just where they read that.

To clear it out, this is what Scout's Charge says: "You can deal sneak attack damage when you charge".
What Sap Master says is: "When you deal sneak attack damage".
Now, in addition, Sap Master specifies nonlethal damage against flat-footed enemies. The nonlethal part is accomplished with a Sap.
The flat-footed part is fulfilled by Scout's Charge "as if the target were flat-footed (and not flanked or anything else that normally would allow one to deal sneak attack damage)... But not really, since the target isn't actually flat-footed.
