Currently a class has to be in a single file, at least from the compiler view. There are tricks: you can use include file, class helpers or simple class inheritance. But I think the right solution for your too large class is simple: you should break it down to a number of smaller classes specialized to handle part of the problem you have. In other words, you should delegate part of the work to be done to other classes, each one being in his own file. The best way to do that is to create components. Either visial components or non-visual component. Not knowing why your class is so huge make difficult to give detailed advice. Contribute to the SSL Effort.
