Yes, I think it is called inlining.  I'm pretty sure that the Export
option on the File menu will do this.  I tested it with a large MPD that
I have been working on and it created one file.  When I loaded that file
into MLCad, and I clicked on a piece that was originally included in a
subfile, I was able to select it individually.
