Render multiple components upon save?

[Anonymous]

I've run into a snag with the render environment, and was wondering if a script may fix the issue i'm seeing.

I have a file with

Component 1:  a linked component to an external file
Component 2: a group of unlinked components

What I want to do, is setup a handful of renders that are component 1 + a component under group 2, with a single named view.

my assumption was I could save each render individually and then set them to render on save, when I updated component 1 I could just open the file, refresh the link, and save the file, however each render only runs with the currently visible components 2's  not the component 2's that were visible at the time the render was completed.
