There's a recent change in CML2 that may make your job easier.  The
complier now accepts multiple declarations for a single menu. The entry
lists are just concatenated.

So, you can have twio inout files, one featuring

        menu foo
                FOO1 FOO2 FOO3

and another featuring 

        menu foo
                FOO4 FOO5 FOO6

and the compiler will behave as though you had written

        menu foo
                FOO1 FOO2 FOO3
                FOO4 FOO5 FOO6
