My instinct is that if I selected the points and the rectangle and pressed the align horizontal button in the align menu it would align them horizontally. However it appears illustrator will not let me select the individual points of the path on the left and the whole rectangle on the right at the same time. I have to either select the whole path on the left with the rectangle, or the individual points of the rectangle with the individual points of the path. It is really a question of selection rather than aligning. It is like John said at the top, what I am trying to do requires a mixed selection, and my conclusion is that Illustrator does not work that way.
