You aren't doing anything wrong. You are just not doing the tedious job of making sure that all your layers are not only named identically but also share the same index numbers. Which job you could have had no idea was necessary (until now I suppose).
Unfortunately Layer Combinations require that both the names and indexes match to transfer successfully between projects. Any layers that don't match up perfectly will be hidden by default.
The quick fix is just to repair the combinations in each of the affected files.
If you want to prevent this recurring you will need to make a master set of layers of which you can then use subsets in your various project types. There is much more to this. It is one of the more advanced and most frustrating aspects of Attribute Manager (and attributes in general). I can't cover all the details here. You might do well to do a search on "Attribute Manager" here or in the Wiki.

Matthew,
Thanks for the reply. This is much more complex than it needs to be.
I'll let you know if I get it to work.

What if instead of creating the demo file from scratch, create it from your regular template file by deleting all but the layers etc. needed to create your demo plan.
This should retain the index numbers, layers and layer combinations. This also eliminates errors from [my] poor typing and spelling.
