I have this working as I wanted although I don't exactly know how I did it.

This is the cascading set of menus.
# -------------- header1 menu (start) ------------
lib.headermenu1 >

temp.headermenu1 = HMENU
temp.headermenu1.special = directory
temp.headermenu1.special.value = 404
temp.headermenu1.wrap = <ul> | </ul>
temp.headermenu1.1 = TMENU
temp.headermenu1.1 {
     NO.allWrap = <li> | </li>
     ACT = 1
     ACT.allWrap = <li class="hcurrent"> | </li>
}

lib.headermenu1 < temp.headermenu1
# -------------- header1 menu (end) ------------

# -------------- header2 menu (start) ------------
lib.headermenu2 >

temp.headermenu2 = HMENU
temp.headermenu2.entryLevel = 2

temp.headermenu2.wrap = <ul> | </ul>
temp.headermenu2.1 = TMENU
temp.headermenu2.1 {
     NO.allWrap = <li> | </li>
     ACT = 1
     ACT.allWrap = <li class="hcurrent"> | </li>
}

lib.headermenu2 < temp.headermenu2
# -------------- header2  menu (end) ------------



# -------------- header3 menu (start) ------------
lib.headermenu3 >

temp.headermenu3 = HMENU
temp.headermenu3.entryLevel = 3

temp.headermenu3.wrap = <ul> | </ul>
temp.headermenu3.1 = TMENU
temp.headermenu3.1 {
     NO.allWrap = <li> | </li>
     ACT = 1
     ACT.allWrap = <li class="hcurrent"> | </li>
}

lib.headermenu3 < temp.headermenu3
# -------------- header3  menu (end) ------------
