If you look at the lost comms procedure in the AIM it does not say where you have to file to. It does say that you must go to the clearance limit and hold until the EFC and then LEAVE for the IAP and arrive there at ETA. Therefore, the two are not mutually inclusive. It makes sense to file your IAP if there are a limited number of approaches or you want a specific one, but going into larger airports, situations can change quick enough that it makes little sense given the number of approaches and directions for landing involved.
