Question:
When creating an AIF file, in what order should I add the images to the .mbm file?

Answer:
The order of files in the .mbm file, or in the .lst file, is important. It should be smallest to largest, in icon and mask pairs. So (using the Boss example) you might have a file "bossmbm.lst" with the contents:
    boss.mbm
    boss16i.bmp
    boss16m.bmp
    boss24i.bmp
    boss24m.bmp
    boss32i.bmp
    boss32m.bmp
    boss48i.bmp
    boss48m.bmp
    The first line is the name of the .mbm file to be generated. This file will be created by running

    bmconv bossmbm.lst

    from the command line.
