You can combine several start files into a single configuration. This allows you to have a standard list of start part items that are in all models while giving departments the opportunity to have a set of their own start part items in addition to the company standard ones.

If there is duplicate information in the start files, the configuration file listed last is used. Consider the sample condition.mcc file where the start_standard.mcs and start_gavin.mcs files are listed on the same line. If the start_standard file contains the line:

and if the start_gavin file contains the following line:

then the line from the start_standard file is ignored. That line conflicts with the line from the start_gavin file and the line from the start_standard file comes before the line from the start_gavin file.
