Well, once again, I probably don't understand the context... (It would
help to know what the purpose of the PageStyle marker, what you're
trying to accomplish, and why the kinds of pgfs in the main text flow
matter.) 

But what the heck, I'll jump in anyway. 

Assuming that the marker can live in a background text frame (like the
header or footer), put it on the master pages of one of the files. Then
import page layouts from that file to the other files in the book. 

HTH!
