I'm not sure I understand what the problem is. Create a MIF file containing
just the Variable definitions you need. Then use fmbatch to open the MIF
file and the other files, and import variables from the MIF file. You
may want/need to convert the MIF file to a binary FM file before the
import operation (can also be done with fmbatch).

So all you need is a fairly simple fmbatch script, once you have created
the MIF file.
