This is already possible without much effort. All files that are not
meant for general use could go to a directory "latex-jlm/" and be
evaluated with a line like

 () = evalfile("latex_jlm/commands", current_namespace());

in latex.sl. I would leave the main file in separate, so it can be
initialized by the usual 

  require("latex");
  
or 

  autoload("latex_mode", "latex");
  
but this is a matter of taste.

This should work also for anonymous namespaces, i.e.

#include <somefile>

would replace the directive by the content of <somefile> (searched along
the jed library path) and proced with the pre-parsing, right?


I second an #include preprocessor directive, as I expect one slc file
will load faster than several ones...
