If we just register the port information for the relevant
parts (road plates, track, and monorail track), and inline
all sub-files (not including parts) the inlined version of
the model will contain indirect port information through the
position and orientation information for the track and road
parts.

That might be an option, but a separate file could probably
do the job for now.
