Why do assemblies lose mates when inserted into other assemblies?

I downloaded & imported a pneumatic cylinder STEP file. As expected, the parts were not constrained. So I Fixed except the rod, adding a concentric mate with limits to that only movable part.

It worked great until I brought that assembly into another assembly. None of the parts were Fixed or mated. Why?

Use a group and only fix one part. The fix doesn't carry over to other assemblies.0
