Duplicate Spreads from one Doc to another

I am trying to duplicate every spread from the first document to the second.



 
app.documents[0].spreads.everyItem().duplicate(LocationOptions.after,  app.documents[1].spreads[-1])  




While doing the task with the approach above somethimes the order of the spreads in the target document gets confused. So I tried to do this in a loop (with much better results):

 
for (oneSpread = 0; oneSpread < app.documents[0].spreads.length; oneSpread++)  
	app.documents[0].spreads[oneSpread].duplicate(LocationOptions.after,  app.documents[1].spreads[-1])  




But I have still a problem with both approaches: linked textframes of different spreads are unlinked.

I have even tried to do this with an itemByRange-Object of the spreads: 

      app.documents[0].spreads.itemByRange(0, app.documents[0].spreads.length-1).duplicate(LocationOptions.after,
      app.documents[1].spreads[-1])




But the order of the spreads gets confused too and linked textframes of different spreads are unlinked.

Is there a forth approach that keeps the order and the links - even if the linked textframes of the source doc lay on different spreads?
