Paolo's looking for answers outside the box (he's already asked!).
Unfortunately due to differences and limitations in AmiBroker's
classification system we aren't able to combine multiple stocks, futures
and fx at the same time. For example, we classify Australian stocks
according to GICS, US stocks according to ICB and Futures according to
an entirely different system altogether.
We do intend to enhance AmiBroker support with a native plugin in the
future, which may offer such a feature if it's feasible to do so...
One thing we need to be aware of is the symbol overlaps between
different stock exchanges. AmiBroker cannot handle two securities with
the same symbol, although this is virtually impossible between a single
stock exchange/futures/forex but quote possible between multiple stock
exchanges.
We would recommend you contact AmiBroker and suggest to them that they
need to offer a far more extensible classification system than the
current two-level system available now. It has been flagged as a
suggestion for a few years now.
The current two-level classification system is well past its use-by date
(it was modelled on a virtually unknown classification system used by
Hemscott which was adopted by Yahoo which has since moved to a three
level system anyway after being taken over by Morningstar).
If you want a more extensible classification system, put up a note here
asking for it:

Why don't you e-mail Richard? The Premium Data support is always
outstanding.
