question on mne_surf2bem for MEG/EEG combined

Dear all,

I am a new user of MNE (post-doc MRC-CBU, Cambridge, UK),
and I already have some question for this mailing list.

I am analysing data that combined MEG & MEG and I have a question on the
following command (taken from MEG analysis alone)

mne_surf2bem --surf $SUBJECTS_DIR/<participant>/surf/lh.smseghead --id 4 --fif <participant>-head.fif

For the EEG I need 3 layers BEM (skull, brain and skin)

In the manual for MNE p76 it says " --surf <name>" Specifies a
FreeSurfer binary format surface file. Before specifying
the next surface (--surf or --tri options) details of the surface
specification can be given with the options listed in Section 5.4.2. "
for the --id option, the identification number to assign to this
surface. (1 = inner skull, 2 =outer skull, 4 = scalp).

My question is the following
On this command above the file lh.smseghead correspond to the layer bem
of the scalp (--id 4) ONLY or is there also inside the info for the
other layers ???
If the info for the other layers are also in the same file how I do I
write the proper command

mne_surf2bem --surf $SUBJECTS_DIR/<participant>/surf/lh.smseghead --id 4
--id 2 --id 1 --fif <participant>-head.fif

or do I need to call 3 times the same file?

mne_surf2bem --surf $SUBJECTS_DIR/<participant>/surf/lh.smseghead --id 4
--surf $SUBJECTS_DIR/<participant>/surf/lh.smseghead --id 2
--surf $SUBJECTS_DIR/<participant>/surf/lh.smseghead --id 1
--fif <participant>-head.fif

If this is not the case that the different layers are in the same file,
which files should I prompt? in the directory /surf/ they are 56 others
and it is not explained anywhere which is what. (btw, I do not
understand why this file has "lh." affix does that mean it is only for
left hemisphere? there are also "rh." files...)

Thanks in advance for your help

Regards,
