i've found what is causing the annoyance: both files have the same name for their ControlNameList which is "Controls".

fact is, in qtractor, control names are shared global resources: if you import/load at least two .midnam files (View/Instruments...) that declare patch, controller, key lists with same name, they will certainly clash and override the previously imported/loaded one.

so i guess, for the time being, you have two options here:

1. edit the .midnam xml and rename all the possible sets that may clash, giving it unique attribute names accordingly.
2. do not import/load more than one .midname at any given time. i know this sounds ridiculous, but that's the way it is now. i'll try to fix this in the code, but i'll make no promises either.
3. or, even more ridiculous option, you can live on with the wrong names. the issue has been lurking there for more than a decade now and i'm unaware of any casualties ;)

byee.
