What does iCloud back up exactly (and does it have to be with a certain ID)?

Hi,
I have a question regarding iCloud backup for an iOS device.  I currently have iCloud signed in with my Apple ID on my iPad.  I have many apps that I downloaded, but I also have many apps downloaded from a friend's ID.  Even though some apps are from a different ID than what iCloud is signed into, does it still back up the friend's apps? 
This leads me to another question.  My ID mentioned above is actually my family's ID.  I recently created my own personal Apple ID, but have not downloaded anything with it as of yet.  I do not personally own any Apple devices.  The Mac and iPad are both my family's and will stay signed in with their ID.  What is the best way to move forward if I have my own ID, but with shared Apple devices?  I will soon get an iPhone 4S that I can have to myself with my Apple ID signed in to iCloud, but there are many apps from the family's account that I would like on my iPhone.  So, will this be backed up to iCloud, or just the stuff I download with my own ID? 
Thanks.

Hey,
I thought I'd have bad news for you, but looks like Apple is OK with a family having one Apple ID for purchases and several IDs for iCloud.  Check out these articles:
