Building a hierarchical view isn't the problem, perhaps it is 
inconvenient to have millions of SPDT switch subcircuits showing up
where there are actually just one implementation of it.

One way to do it would be to scan the hierarchy and list, but just
once, the files used in a flat list. You can do that by having a
separate program doing the scanning and starting gschem with all thoose
file names at the gschem command line.
