When the top-level RM netlist is read into the DFX design using update_design -cell, make sure that all sub-module netlists are in the same directory as the RM top-level netlist. In this case, the lower-level netlists do not need to be specified, but they are picked up automatically by the update_design -cells command. This is less explicit than Method 1, but requires fewer steps. In this case the commands to load the RM netlist would look like the following:

add_files static.dcp
link_design -top <top> part <part>
lock_design -level routing
update_design -cells <rm_inst> -from_file rm_v#.edf

In the last (update_design) command above, the lower-level netlists are picked up automatically if they are in the same directory as rm_v#.edf.
