Just assuming Anime Studio still has sort of the same interface and controls as Moho.
Open the file you want to import the other layer into. Click "File", "Import", "Moho Object". Look for the other moho/anme file and select the layer you want to import.
About the grass not exporting, I wouldn't know. Are all your layers 'visible'? Might help to solve your problem if you describe it more clearly.

Just some additions:
Importing an "Anime Studio object" means that you can import everything from the first level of layers (that's the highest, most-left level) from another file. It is a good idea to organise your files in a way that you have folder layers or group layers on top for each character, each background, each otehr object.
The other way to "copy" which I use mostly when things don't change much from scene to scene is to just save the scene with a new name and then delete every layer I don't need.

When I need to import something "special" into another file (something on a deep layer like a prop or background) and it isn't at a top level layer in the original AS file I will open that file and create a "special" import file just for that purpose. Usually I delete all the layers except exactly what I need.
In my projects I have a folder called "import" where I place these so they don't get confused with other files.
One of my top 10 feature requests is being able to import ANY layer from an AS file.

That would be handy. But then it would need another instance checking for dependancies and tell me something like "the layer(s) you wish to import is bound to a bone layer. Do you like to import this as well?"
I can live with the present solution. What I really miss is an organized library and linked files like in Flash ...
