How about some form of "include" mechanism:
Local Variables:
@include: FILENAME
End:
I would suggest implementing that with the same care, considerations,
and restrictions as has `eval' for Locals
Mind you, if your Local Vars sections are getting so out of hand that
they warrant having a whole extra file to store them, you should probably
re-think what you're doing. :-)
