Is there a way to split a huge xul file into small xul files like we can do it using SSI (shtml), tpl, etc?

Mozilla uses the C++ preprocessor for that, it runs during build before the XUL file is packaged. See for example browser.xul (look for
#include).If you want to have this behavior at runtime however (along with the unavoidable performance degradation) you have the choice between XUL Overlays and XBL. Which one to choose depends on your goal. If you merely want to specify the contents of a particular tag in a different file then overlays are the way to go. If you need to generate multiple tags with the same or similar contents then you would use XBL.
