You can create a Texture Layer Connection by holding Alt and dragging from the source layer to the destination layer. This will find the first texture variable in the source layer and set it as the source of the first texture variable it finds in the destination layer.

Using Layer Connection Window

You can also create a layer connection manually in the Layer Connection window.
