I assume that after adding the topicref pointing to c_sample_concept.xml
in create_files.ditamap, you have saved the map to disk. (Otherwise, the
error message would be 100% correct.)

I've tried to reproduce the problem using exactly the same map and
creating empty concepts, tasks, topics, empty but each having a
different id, for each of the above topicrefs. I used exactly the same
file layout.

As expected, I cannot reproduce the problem.

I would suggest to retry [1] opening c_sample_concept.xml [2] loading
create_files.ditamap as the link context. If it still does not work, I
now really need a formal bug report, that is,

* A set of map and topic files allowing to reproduce the problem.
* A screenshot of the error dialog box (I need to see the exact URLs).
* More information about your working environment (Please *Shift*-click
Help|About and send me a copy -- Ctrl-A then Ctrl-C then Ctrl-V
elsewhere -- of the textual contents of the dialog box).

The Link tool already supports maps including sub-maps. That is,
something like:

<topicref href="submap.ditamap" format="ditamap"/>
