Thanks for all the tips everyone.
I've been thinking the choises for a while and it seems probably the
best way is to include all the symbols I need in a common TYP file and
convert it all to overlays.
The reason I would have liked to combine different files was it was very
convinient to make something like one-way arrows separately in all roads
(no need to include continue in every road statement). Separate files
have worked fine with newer devices but I still use some older one that
does not allow many img-files. Perhaps I just need to retire it finally.
Thanks for the help everyone! A combination of different suggestions
(and tinkering with the styles a bit) should do what I need. (at least
with accepting it will hurt some older device).

Harri,
to keep your workflow you could possibly generate the .imgs with overlay
info --transparent and give them increasingly higher --draw-priority to
control, which is painted on top of which. Modern devices allow to
enable and use multiple map layers this way, although heritage devices
may not.

Wouldn't the mkgmap syntax treat at least the last file named on the
command line as typfile?

But: In an old shellscript I do successfully merge multiple .imgs into
one final .img using mkgmap with an args-file for the final map
(including --gmapsupp) and several --input-file=....img lines for the
individual .imgs. The individual .img's typfiles all are given
individual names during the individual maps creation, although they
typically (but not enforced) where just copies of the same source
typfile in my usecase. No typfile named for the final map. The outcome
works on Garmin Edge devices as well as QMapShack on Linux.
