That is different. Magos can only edit .mld files. The file type the game requires is .mdx. All you need do is convert the file from .mdx to .mdl, and it should work.

That too is different. If Magos offers a "Merge Goeset" that is how you combind models. I don't use Magos, so I don't know if it offers that tool.
You need to be more specific when asking questions. There is a reason we didn't understand, you were talking about the Import manager.
I also noticed you dbl posted to add the Quote near the beginning. There is an edit button for a purpose. The Moderators will crack down on you if you dbl post.
dbl post = BAD

* A few other tips that might help too:
