Merge separate lines into single path

I don’t understand what i’m doing wrong. I’ve made sure all lines are touching the other lines, and have attempted “Close Path”, and “Auto-Join selected shapes”, but I don’t think the auto-join selected shapes is correct for lines. but either way, I can’t get them all together.

The basic gotcha: a “node” can join only two lines / curves, so a closed shape cannot have T intersections.

This has the outer path joined and the inner lines grouped as separate shapes:

That may not be quite what you want, but take a look to see what the differences are.

You can’t join those shapes as drawn. The shape needs to be a single continuous line without any extra parts to become a closed shape. I broke apart your curve shapes with node editor and joined the flat parts to the outer shape and had to change the curves to a different layer so you can see what happens.

I knew it was going to be something trivial. I sure did waste a lot of time trying to get those lines together lol. thanks for the help.
