Different parts in different modes. You can have an indefinite number
of sub-modes.

Sorry, I didn't post a working example, but rather another case of
mmm-mode at work. Let me see if I can give you something more
specific... try this in your .emacs:

(mmm-add-mode-ext-class nil "\\.scm" 'scheme-eof)
(mmm-add-classes
 '((scheme-eof
    :submode text-mode
    :front "#..EOF"
    :back "^EOF$")))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.scm" . mmm-mode))

This declares "scheme-eof" as an extension class, provides the regexes
to match the beginning and end of the EOF section, and specifies the
mode to use within that section (I chose text-mode). Finally, it adds
mmm-mode to the auto-mode-list for .SCM files.

Note too that I cheated on the first regex. ;-) Works here, hope it
works for you too.
