Chris,
I've never used L3PAO, so I cannot say.
In MLCad I'd try creating a new model in your current MPD that uses Model 1,
and Model 2.
I'd use MLCad's MPD ordering menu to make sure your top level model (your new
model) is the first in the file. Save, and try L3PAO again.
L3PAO is probably rendering the first model in the MPD (as it should). Since
your first model is Model 1, and it doesn't use Model 2 as a sub-model, Model 2
is not rendered.
By creating a new top level model containing Model 1 and Model 2, both should
be rendered.
