Ricky,

If they are referenced by your code they should be automatically added to
the setup project (whether in a MSM for or standalone files)
Also the register property on the files should be automatically populated
so that they just work.
If they are not automatically added to your setup project you can add them,
If there are files that are not marked to be registered you can change
there register property so that the MSI will take care of the registration
work for you.

I hope that answers your question, if not just reply with more specific
details.
