Cross-reference to a previous file

[Lin Sims]

Current file only, unless that's changed with FM11 (and I doubt it).

Where I work, we have a sort-of-similar issue, and we solved it by
using cross-references. It means you'll have to remember to check that
you're pointing to the right files if you add any new ones in, but it
beats typing everything in (and you'd have to manually update that
way, too).
