Maybe the question should have been phrased: does an MECIR renewal also renew the PIFR(SE)? That's it, just what the rules say is what I was having difficulty finding.
I don't think you have to ever 'renew' the PIFR. It's just an AFR with a qualified person
At last review I was required to do two AFR's, one for VFR and another for PIFR, including my FPA's.
