i'm continuously making additions to my _vimrc file and sometimes need

showing all those errors?
I don't see any problem with mappings being redefined. I can do
:map a b
and then the same again with no error. Nor can I find an error message about
mappings already existing in the help, so I don't think I've just turned it off,
though perhaps I have.
If it's commands and functions, you can redefine those by adding a ! so you have
function! and command!. To deal with autocommands, you should use autocommand
groups and clear them, e.g.:
augroup MyAutocommands
au!
au BufRead * do something
augroup END
That should take care of most things and allow you to source your vimrc multiple
times. I do it often with mine, so it's definitely possible.
