SSE Master files and ESP question

[Colemanallen1987]

Hi so im working on the black marsh mod, i have several very large land masses, i have the first new world finished, or at least the layout and land is, so im going to turn that into the master file, i already have 2 more new lands im working on and want to have them all connected by boat or by cave or what ever.....So i know i can connect the master and the esp together and they will go together no problem...but adding the 3rd esp to the mix do i need to make the second ESP as a master as well.....Let me explain better.... the first set of new land is in the south of black marsh, thats the master, second esp is northern black marsh....so that will be the master and ESP, so if i want to connect Morrowind to the northern black marsh ESP does it need to be a master as well or will the original southern black marsh connect them??????Sorry if its confusing....

esp's cannot reference the forms in other esp's unless you master one to the other.

So would i need to make the second world a master to make it connect to the third? is there a limit on masters before things get funky....and if i make it a master do i still need the esp when i upload???

I'd suggest this scheme:

 

MainMaster.esm

Area1.esm - mastered to MainMaster

Area2.esm - mastered to MainMaster

Area3.esp - mastered to Area1.esm and Area2.esm
