Public. - Mostly due to the need to be able to create a set
of LDraw readable files.

Since the construction of the MPD files is based on a
collection of DAT files, there can only be one "roof.dat"
file, ...
unless you keep the DAT files for the two houses in
different directories.

OK. The transformation I imagine would result in:
0 FILE town.dat
1 16 -40 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 house1/house1.dat
1 16 40 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 house2/house2.dat
0 FILE house1/house1.dat
1 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3003.DAT
1 4 0 -24 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 house1/roof.dat
0 FILE house1/roof.dat
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3043.DAT
0 FILE house2/house2.dat
1 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3003.DAT
1 2 0 -8 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 house2/roof.dat
0 FILE house2/roof.dat
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3068.DAT
0 NOFILE
As you can see will this mean that we will have to change
some file names in the files, but it should be close to
trivial using a list of the files included in the MPD files.

No. There can, theoretically, come a FILE meta-command after
a NOFILE meta-command.

Due to its slightly different effect, no.
Play well,

| 1. Are the files in an MPD public or private? Consider this example with three files: town.dat 1 16 -40 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 house1.mpd 1 16 40 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 house2.mpd house1.mpd 0 FILE house1.dat 1 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3003.DAT 1 4 0 (...)
