(...) I'm glad you agree. (...) L3P/L3Lab will draw 'some stuff' twice. The file B.DAT is never loaded, as the subfile B.DAT was loaded during reading A.MPD. It doesn't matter whether subfile A.DAT references B.DAT or not. An MPD should be regarded (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The FAQ is not quite correct. Step #1 should be last, not first. Strictly speaking, LDraw 'searches' by trying to access files, named as follows. (This is taken directly from the LDraw code). 'p/' + <filename> 'parts/' + <filename> 'models/' + (...) (24 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
