(...) Well, if you read all postings on MPD through the last seven years you should be able to piece the correct answer together :-) I believe the L3 parser (used in L3P, L3Lab and "ldglite -l3") reflects that information. > However, I can tell (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Is that what I said? I didn't mean to... If an MPD contains main.dat, a.dat, and b.dat, then a.dat should be able to 'see' b.dat. I make heavy use of the MPD format while working on part files. Inside a single MPD, I typically have long chains (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) You can do it in one pass (if you don't count the loading of the file to a stringlist). Wile walking through the file you build you're objectlist with subparts. Afterwards you go recursively through the list of subparts. This way all mpd (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

As you have pointed out, the spec is indeed ambiguous. Consequently, there's probably no correct answer as to how things should work. However, I can tell you what I do in LDView, so that you have an idea of how at least one MPD-compatible program (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

Thanks Tim and Steve, I think I will go with Steve's advise to let only the main part in the mpd see the other parts in the mpd. This will give a much cleaner recursive approach, in which I can easily support sub mpd's. Further more I think I will (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
