Subject: IOC build to generate single DB file from two substitutions on single template file

I am trying to:

  1. Start from a single template file with a single record instance
  2. Apply two different substitution files
  3. Result in a single DB file with a single record instance (with substitutions performed)

So what I’m looking for is either a two-pass substitution, or having one subs file include the other, but I don’t think those things exist.

The purpose of this is to be able to create a number of instances of IOCs, where many of the substitutions are common to all, but some are per-instance.
