Hi Jayesh,

I think the short answer is "no". A shapefile can only deal with one geometry layer at a time by construction. To handle multiple layers in the same file, folks have gone to geospatial databases, where each table is a separate layer if the table has a geometry column. An "open" format that would do what you want can be done using SpatiaLite: http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite/.

I know I can merge shapefiles using ogr2ogr but is there a way to group them? So that each layer can be separate and we just send users a single file (other then zip)?

I don't know any but wondering if someone.

Thanks,
