Playlist assistance

Hello all.

I've been trying to set up a playlist that will read other playlists of different tv shows, as they aired in order.

For instance, I'm trying to create a Sci-Fi channel playlist that will play different sci-fi shows in order, but randomly playing other shows. An example:

Play episode one of Star Trek, then play episode one of Battlestar Galactica, then the first episode of something else. When it gats back to Star Trek, play the next episode of that, and so on.

I can't seem to get the right setup for this to work. I have the playlists set up for the different shows, but when I use a master Sci-Fi channel playlist to play them, it shows up empty.

Here's an example:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
    <name>SciFi_Star_Trek_Enterprise</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="tvshow" operator="is">
        <value>Star Trek: Enterprise</value>
    </rule>
</smartplaylist>

And then my Sci Fi channel playlist (that shows up empty when I mix other playlists in):

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="episodes">
    <name>Sci Fi Channel</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="playlist" operator="is">
        <value>SciFi_Star_Trek_Enterprise</value>
    </rule>
    <rule field="playlist" operator="is">
        <value>SciFi_Tin Man</value>
    </rule>
    <order direction="ascending">random</order>
</smartplaylist>

Any help would be appreciated.
