Hmm. I use MPD models a lot, there can be several levels of nesting within a
single .mpd file, and I have been known to refer to .mpd files from other .mpd
files.
I'm not sure how deep my nesting of model files goes, but I'd be a little
concerned about a limit of 16 levels. I wonder if ldraw renderers tend to
flatten out the nesting in part files?
