[Closed] [MXS] Parameter Block error… WTF?

Can someone explain to me why a simple script containing only a parameter block and a rollout in an external SpawnflagRO.ms maxscript file…

--spawnflags parameter block
parameters spwnflgs rollout:SpawnflagRO
(
 spfl1 type:#boolean  checked:false ui:spfl_1
 spfl2 type:#boolean  checked:false ui:spfl_2
 spfl3 type:#boolean  checked:false ui:spfl_3
 spfl4 type:#boolean  checked:false ui:spfl_4
 spfl5 type:#boolean  checked:false ui:spfl_5
 spfl6 type:#boolean  checked:false ui:spfl_6
 spfl7 type:#boolean  checked:false ui:spfl_7
 spfl8 type:#boolean  checked:false ui:spfl_8
 spfl9 type:#boolean  checked:false ui:spfl_9
 spfl10 type:#boolean  checked:false ui:spfl_10
 spVal type:#string  default:"0"   ui:SpawnflagVal
 spLbl type:#string  default:"spawnflags 0" ui:SpawnflagLbl
)

rollout SpawnflagRO "Spawnflags" (
  blah
  blah
  blah
)

That is then included in a much larger script where Custom Attribute definitions use the above SpawnflagRO.ms file in their definitions by using the “include” command, WORKS CORRECTLY when the “master” maxscript file is run directly. BUT FAILS generating a parameter block error when I put both files in a .MZP file and run the .MZP file???

USAGE excerpt:

MPmisc_modelCA = attributes MPmisc_model 
( 
   include "SpawnflagRO.ms"
   
   /* other CA parameters, rollouts, bullshit, etc. */
)
