Is there a way to include a map file inside of another map file?
For example, if I  have small peices of map files for different
themes, I'd like to put them put them together something like:

map
name myname
status on
....
  #include<roads.map>
  #include<water.map>
end

And have the contents of the smaller map files show up as if
they are part of the overall map file.  It would help break
up the map files into chunks for different projets.

I've looked around, but haven't seen a way to do this.  Am I
missing something, or would I have to get creative to do this?

Thanks,
