Just keep in mind that material layers saved in Poser can not replace one that was previously applied. You need a script to work with that as well.

Actually not necessary, It was never the intention to overwrite a existing structure, the Intention was keeping that structure adding a partial setup to it, in our case adding veins to the existing skin. If there is a existent layer in the model you have loaded it is having a purpose, the new one will just be added as additional effect not affecting or overwriting. So why should there now be a script that is doing exactly what had to be prevented ? 

To explain what Scott was getting at ...

Let's say you create several different material layers to change the color of the lips. You apply a red lip color layer and the lips turn red. Later you decide you want pink lips.

If you add the pink lips from the library, it will NOT replace the red lips, it will "stack" them, which might not produce the results you like. Instead, select the red lip layer, use the layer controls to delete it, and then apply the pink lip layer.

There is one more thing I need to investigate though, so stay tuned.

Ohh got that point, i fact this sure would be an issue if  that method would be used for a creator that wants to release a package with makeups or special effects using the layers. It is a side effect like also seen on Morphs, there it sure would come in hands having a reset file  like Inj and rem . Well I am still looking into the options in the scripts so there sure should be a way to invert the Injection, if you can add then there should also be a way to remove these :) 

The mcl file is a good start having a closer look at the script. The layer can be also saved as Mt5 but again the resulting like before it will sure load into the new built layer but mess up the Base Layer like it has been doing before interchanging the nodes to the poser surface, unless you load that MT5 Layer file using the Add to Scene feature then the Base Layer remains stable. Back to the Roots, there must be a line in the txt that can be used to prevent that issue that the Main Layer gets affected. Once this is solved it would be possible making a sort of INJ REM file for partial materials or layers.
