Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. If you want modularity via replacement modules with smallest granularity then you must put each interface into a different file. If you include say an interface file that defines all four interfaces then this must be implemented by a single module. Which means if you want interface replacement granularity you will have to put each interface in its own file. > > The current situation is as follows: > Each of the four interfaces has its own module and configuration file. > > I see two possible solutions: > > First: > All four interfaces are implemented in one module. > One configuration wires everything for the module. > Given that the interfaces are logically related. This is what I would do.
