I believe you will need to add each DRL file into a single RuleBase (Drools 4.x terminology; I think KnowledgeBase in 5.0 but I'm a little rusty).

Don't forget rules aren't evaluated when "fireAllRules" is called but as objects are inserted into WorkingMemory, so all rules need to be compiled into a RuleBase before object insertion.
