Sure, I can import whatever I want into one symbol file.  But I do
this up to a point just so Amibroker doesn't replace my old data with
new data coming in.

What I have to do is chop up my big symbol data (like tick files) into
much smaller files so Amibroker can handle the processing of the data
in memory.   I should be able to have years and years of tick data in
one file (for something like the e-minis) and then, for a backtest, I
tell Amibroker, "backtest March 1st, 2005 through March 31st, 2005".    

See my point?  The physical file on disk that contains the complete
symbol data is independent of the actual segment of data Amibroker
could choose to process.
