OK. I fixed up the mess. For a while there I was making it worse with each attempt at fixing it up.

So here is what I did with the CIVA_panel:

I changed the Window Titles to this
[Window Titles]
Window00=Simicons
Window01=Animations Control
Window02=CS Weather Radar
Window03=Map
Window04=Autopilot
Window05=Crew Messenger
Window06=INS Control Display Unit
I removed the Window07 and Window08 entries because I don't need them (see the changes to Window06).

Windows00 now looks like this
[Window00]
file=bg.bmp
background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=1024,768
window_size_ratio=1.00  
position=7
visible=1
ident=MAIN_PANEL
render_3d_window=0
window_size= 1.000, 1.000
window_pos= 0.000, 0.000
gauge00=Captain_Sim.x707.sys!main, 0,0, 2,2
gauge01=Captain_Sim.x707.sound!main, 0,0,1,1,Captain_Sim\707\sound.ini
gauge02=Captain_Sim.x707.tools!icons, 0,532,24,120
gauge03=Captain_Sim.x707.gpws!main, 0,0,1,1
;CIVA
gauge04=../civa/INS!NavModeSingle,  0,  652,  1, 1
gauge05=../civa/INS!MsuPanelIcon,   0,  652, 24, 24, 11040
Because of the changes in Window06, I only need the one SimIcon for the CIVA-INS.

I changed Window06 to look like this:
;CIVA
[Window06]
size_mm=250,368
background_color=16,16,16
window_pos=0.0, 0.050
position=0
visible=0
ident=11040
no_luminous=1
gauge00=../civa/INS!Cdu1, 0, 0, 250, 196
gauge01=../civa/INS!Msu1, 0, 197, 250, 71
gauge02=../civa/INS!Adeu1, 0, 268, 250, 101
The 3 INS panels (CDU, MSU and ADEU) are now grouped together because I like it that way.

And finally. I placed the INS!Config into the VCockpit01 like this:
[VCockpit01]
size_mm=1024,1024
pixel_size=1024,1024
texture=$FPSP
background_color=0,0,0
gauge00=Captain_Sim.x707.R01!R01_001_light, 625, 824, 56,55
gauge01=Captain_Sim.x707.R02!R02_clock, 50, 300, 155,151
gauge02=Captain_Sim.x707.R03!R03_aplight, 625, 750, 55,55
gauge03=Captain_Sim.x707.R05!R05_rmi, 275, 775, 200,200
.....
gauge26=Captain_Sim.x707.sound!main, 0,0,1,1,Captain_Sim\707\sound.ini
gauge27=../civa/INS!Config,         0,    0,  0, 0, csx701
Placing the INS!config in the VCockpit, gets the INS initialized as soon as the 707 loads into FSX.

And it works great. :)
