I think EN's right...if the company's FOM calls for 3-4 pilots for the flight, then all are required crew and all can log the time. In my B777 DVD (JustPlaneVideos.com), the relief pilot in the jumpseat doesn't just sit there and read magazines, he's included by the capt in the briefs, is assigned emergency action items, is involved in the cockpit decisionmaking process and is making PA announcements so the capt and FO don't have to. In other words, the CA is exercising good CRM by making use of all available crew resources.
