Well...because of the complex and different setup used in them. The only way I've managed to solve this - is to use vertical setup, but sometimes it's pain to scroll up and down to find the required piece.

Go to the Composition List Panel. Expand the deck content of the composition you wish to load. Select/Load decks (Double Click each deck) from the desired composition into the current one. Play a new loaded video. Remove remaining unwanted decks from the current composition. You are done. REMEMBER ...

Sounds like you’re at the point of needing two playback machines and a suitable graphics switcher.
