Hi Ahui,
It is easier to create MPD files using LPub than MLCad.
You open the top level file in LPub, and then Save As MPD. LPub figures
out all the files needed based on the top level file and any of its
submodels. plus LPub is *sure* to list the top level model *first*, which
is not guaranteed by MLCad.
