Oh boy. This is embarrassing! Turns out the file that was open in notepad++ was not the one in the path of my project, but had the exact same name. And I was editing this sucker instead of the real file. I guess I should reload my files during sessions. <insert double face-palm here> Problem solved, it's sitting right in front of the screen and is banging his head hard against the wall now. I'm truly sorry that I have wasted your time.

What is wrong here? Am I missing something? Did I get the input mechanism all wrong?
What happens if you make a simple file with the 4 \useMPgraphics in it .. does that one process? Maybe there is a problem with the graphics in the sense that you cannto run them all in a row.
You can also try adding
begingroup; ..... endgroup;
inside each MP figure. I always wished that this was the default behaviour.
Actually, last week I was tempted to do that but I cannot oversee the consequences. It is probably harmless. The interesting thing is that beginfig/endfig have grouping but somehow it does not work out well.
