David:

1)<<Graphics`MultipleListPlot`

lsts = Table[{n,Random[]},{2},{n,6}];

MultipleListPlot[##, PlotJoined->True]&@@lsts

or

MultipleListPlot[Sequence@@lsts, PlotJoined->True]

2) I don't get this problem with 3.01

MultipleListPlot[##, PlotJoined->True, PlotRange -> {.2,.8}, PlotLabel->
"Test"]&@@lsts
