Have several journals?

Hello,

quite new here. I am trying to define my accounts (with account statement) and aliases. I also have general and repetitive budget statements here. I put all of this in a file named common.ledger.

I also have a 2026-budget.journal file with all my budget goals for the current year.

My transactions are in a separate file.

If I include common and 2026-budget into transactions.journal, hledger budget just does not translate the aliases correctly. Instead I have to use cat blah blah | hledger -f-

Am I doing something wrong ?
