1. Before doing anything with the scripts in the old files, define all of the needed layouts in the new consolidated file (the destination file). Define **blank layouts** named the same as the layouts in your other files -- make sure the names match -- and make sure that they are based upon the corresponding table occurrences on the graph (which should already be defined by this point).
And, before doing THAT, make sure that the destination file already has a complete set of the value lists defined in the source file. Unlike virtually everything else FMI has done for us, value lists are still extremely tedious to copy and paste between files, and you'll have to do it by hand, but making sure the value lists match should be the Lake Itasca of any file conversion stream.
