I think Paul is right here. It's a question of ordering. MACRO-11 will 
only search through the libraries it knows about when hitting the 
.MCALL. A file that comes after on the command line will not be searched 
in files before.

You can also use .LIBRARY in the macro file itself, to add additional 
macro library files to be searched.
