Skip the "call" and just copy and paste the scripts into a single object script it will save a lot of hassles in the future. I find that for the amount of editing and trouble shooting one must do it's simply not worth using macros.

If you want a single object that is portable, i agree that macros are a pain.
But if you are building a library for a commercial use, eg windows or industrialised components, where certain things are used on different primary objects, and you want to locate exactly where editing of changes can take place, then macros are very important.
