import mesh and armature

Forgive me if this question is too simple/answered elsewhere. I still don’t exactly understand the mechanics of blender and am trying to work it step by step hoping that something will emerge over time.

Here’s the latest problem. I created a mesh and an armature that deforms said mesh in one blender file and am trying to import the two objects into a different file. I can import the mesh and armature one by one (shift f1/right click mesh, rich click armature, load) but I want to create the mesh and armature so that they can be imported with one click.

Does that make sense? If anyone understands and can shed some light on the problem I would appreciate it a lot. This has been bugging me for some time now.

Thanks.
