Even the most trivial example fails.

Here's the main file, test.tex:

\documentclass[10pt]{combine}
\usepackage{combinet}

\begin{document}
\pagestyle{combine} 
\clearpage


\begin{papers}
\import{a1}
\end{papers}


\end{document}

The the tex file to import into the main document, a1.tex (in same folder):

\documentclass{article}
\author{Author}
\title{Title}
\begin{document}
  \maketitle
\end{document}

No matter what I try, it does not compile, generating the following error:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.24 (MiKTeX 21.12) (preloaded format=pdflatex.fmt)
 restricted \write18 enabled.

This solution relies on Peter Wilson's answer (the original developer) over the additional \endgroup in the \c@ladocument macro.

\documentclass{combine}
\usepackage{combinet}

\begin{filecontents}{a1.tex}
    \documentclass{article}
    \author{Author}
    \title{Title}
    \begin{document}
        \maketitle
    \end{document}
\end{filecontents}


% *********************************** added <<<<<<<<<<<<<
\makeatletter
\let\document\c@ladocument\begingroup%

\begin{document}
    \pagestyle{combine} 
    \clearpage


\begin{papers}
    \import{a1}
\end{papers}
