'file_merged.shp' is performed like this (See

Hi,

Original question was about combining line shapefile and point shapefile into
one gpx file that can hold features of both types.  It is impossible to combine
them to one shapefile. If it does not go directly to gpx them perhaps it would
succeed by using some other interim format that supports mixed feature types in
between, MapInfo tab for example?
