(...) Sorry, you're right every part in the mpd should see any of the other parts. May be Ldraw.org should post a set of 'testcase' files to be used as a reference for programmers. For each file there should be a description of the expected results (...) (18 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 (...) (18 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 (...) (18 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 (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jul-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
