Not in each one, just the top level one which has the data defined in it. I have a fragment for defining the table layout, and a fragment that defines the data in the table (and uses the defined table). In this same fragment, I have a payload group which I am referencing in my bootstrappper application ref. I would think any sort of element that you could reference from your main bundle would include the table, so I don't think it has to be the one I am using.
I agree, there should be a CustomTableRef element so that you could have a unique fragment with only your table data in it. Might not hurt logging this as a feature request if one doesn't already exist. In the scope of a MSI, a work around was to create a Property in the same fragment and then reference that property in the main fragment. In your case, since you are doing custom processing of this additional meta data, then one would assume that you already have a custom BootstrapperApplication setup, so the intent would be to include the table data there and then referencing the BA would pull in the table.

No I don't have any Refs in those fragments (I was trying to preserve sanity by separating everything into fragments containing only related elements - there really should be something like TableRef, VariableRef etc). I'll try including an empty PayloadGroup in each fragment and reference them from the main bundle. Seems a bit hackish though.
