If I recall correctly from our RoboHelp import work, the contents and index
files (hhc and hhk respectively) must have the same name as the .xpj file.
So when you load a different xpj file you are loading different contents and
index files. I guess there may be a good reason for why you might do that
sometimes.

Subject: RoboHelp .xpj Files and TOC/Index Results
Interesting RoboHelp issue today. I was working on a WebHelp project
developed by a former coworker. When I go to open the RoboHelp project,
there are two .xpj files:
* If I open the project using one of the .xpj files, no table of
contents entries are displayed in the RoboHelp panel. However, some
index entries are displayed in RoboHelp. When I generate the project,
the tabs for TOC and index appear in the generated help system, but no
entries are displayed for either.
* If I open the project using the other .xpj file, entries for the
table of contents and index are displayed in the RoboHelp panels. When
I generate the project, the tabs for TOC and index appear in the
generated help system, along with entries for both.
Why is this so? I'm just curious (no emergency here). Why should
different .xpj files lead to different results for TOC and index?
Except for the TOC and index issues, the basic content seems to be the
same regardless of which .xpj file I open the project with (as far as I
can make out).
