Option 2:
Start by creating a new Rules-Based List
Select the option "Build only once with current contacts"
For each list that you want to INCLUDE, add a rule:
When a contact "Is member of the list" "Start typing the list name and select it".
If the list is going to be used for emails only, there is no need to tick the option "Include unsubscribes & bounces"
If you need to exclude other lists from this list, add a new rule group by clicking the blue button "+ New Group".
Select the option "When all of the groups" conditions are met. This option is in the same bar as the "+ New Group" button.
In the second rule group, select the option "when all" of the following conditions are met
For each list that you want to exclude, add a rule to the second rule group:
"Add the filter" When a contact "Is not member of the list" "Start typing the list name and select it".
When you have finished adding rules, click "Save Changes" at the bottom.
If you ever need to update this list with new contacts that were added to the original lists, simply click the top right gear button in the list and select "Rebuild List"
