[GNC] Transactions for multiple accounts in 1 ofx file?

I use it in this manner all the time and works great.

I use an old program called pocketsense, which I modified a bit, which goes 
out to multiple institutions, downloads from each in ofx format and then 
combines them into single ofx file to import it into gnucash. Literally 
speaking they all are concatenation of individual files into one. It has 
been working fine since version 3.5 (or earlier I think).

Only hickup that I see now and then is If transaction are across two 
accounts (example a transfer) in ofx then gnucash doesn't cross correlate 
them but if that happens then I disable import for the "seconds" account, 
finish first import and then perform second import of the same file and 
then it cross correlates automatically. Nice thing with ofx import in 
gnucash is that you can import same file multiple times but not get 
duplicated entries for the same transaction.

I have tested combined ofx file that has investment account, banking 
account and a credit card account and if anything it is one of the robust 
feature of gnucash, IMHO.
