I thought that at first, and I was going to mention it, but Jim has a habit of recycling riffs more than actual tunes. I've heard a lot of people say "Holding Out For A Hero" is a recycle of "Stark Raving Love" or "Seize The Night" is "Back Into Hell" but it's just the riffs. In the case of "Edging Into Darkness" in "The Confidence Man", he just took a small riff and expanded into a massive song. It didn't exist with the bridge or chorus or anything like that until Air Supply or whoever it was intended for. As far as I know...
