I suppose the standard suggested way to do this is to use <DefaultLayout>? 
Just put the block below to your menufile.

<DefaultLayout>
   <Merge type="menus"/>
   <Merge type="files"/>
</DefaultLayout>

I don't remember now what does the standard instruct to do if 
<DefaultLayout> is missing. I suppose sorted as Jannis has selected that 
implementation.
