1. This is the original PR to implement the feature: https://github.com/google/protobuf/commit/532c94145b6605361513682601f1d8e9f97a2497 I don't think there is technical issue to block supporting multiple input files. However, we don't have plan to implement that yet. You are welcome to contribute. 2. I remember we just want to be protective when we implement this feature. +Thomas Van Lenten <[email protected]> Do you remember any specific reason we need full closure dependency of generated files?
