    The other XAML file will need to be a resource dictionary. You merge it into the current file using the MergedDictionaries property of the current ResourceDictionary. See Merged Resource Dictionaries on MSDN. Their example: 

    <Page.Resources>
  <ResourceDictionary>
    <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
      <ResourceDictionary Source="myresourcedictionary.xaml"/>
      <ResourceDictionary Source="myresourcedictionary2.xaml"/>
    </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
  </ResourceDictionary>
</Page.Resources>

    Then within that Page object you can reference static resources defined in myresourcedictionary.xaml or in myresourcedictionary2.xaml.
