no such service in Compose v2.3.2 when running/stopping services from multiple Compose files

[antoineco]

Description

Compose v2.3.2 still seems to be struggling when juggling with services defined in multiple Compose files, and yields no such service: https://github.com/deviantony/docker-elk/runs/5473593690?check_suite_focus=true

Steps to reproduce the issue:

In the above example, taken from a CI run, I ran the following commands inside the repository https://github.com/deviantony/docker-elk:

docker compose up -d
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f extensions/logspout/logspout-compose.yml up -d logspout
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f extensions/logspout/logspout-compose.yml ps
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f extensions/logspout/logspout-compose.yml logs logspout
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f extensions/logspout/logspout-compose.yml stop logspout
docker compose stop logstash

The last stop caused the aforementioned error. (The logstash service is defined inside the main docker-compose.yml file)

Describe the results you received:

no such service: logstash

Describe the results you expected:

A success, like in v2.2 and below.

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):

I started noticing this along with the error described in #9234.
The no such project error went away. However, the no such service error is still present in the latest version.
