I would probably workaround this stuff by doing something like this:

boo.pd
----8<----
[inlet]            <-- or a global [receive BOO]
  |
[route $1]
  |
  | [loadbang]
  |  |
  | [clear(         <-- click this before saving too
  | /
[s pd-$0-boo-subpatch]
                    <-- the $0 is local to each abstraction
[pd $0-boo-subpatch]
----8<----

Then [list prepend 1] etc each message before sending it to all the 
[inlet] or [send BOO] or whatever.
