Question regarding Imports

Okay, I don't know if this has been adressed here, so if it has, my deepest apologies.

I found a text file in the "war3xlocal.mpq" that I want to import. I know how to replace files from the "war3x.mpq" (using the custom path and whatever). But, how do you import a file and replace it for the "war3xlocal" mpq? Thanks for any help.

Just import the file to the same path as the one in the mpq, and war3 will use the one IN the map instead of the one in the MPQ. I know this works for 3 of the mpqs, so it should work for the fourth.

The ones it works for that I know are:
War3.mpq
War3x.mpq
War3Patch.mpq

Exceptions are certain files (for instance, "InfoPanelStrings.fdf") that can't be overridden in a map and MUST be overridden by creating a custom War3Patch.mpq.

The exceptions are files loaded when War3 is opened and not when the map is opened, correct?
