Thanks. I asked because I am in the process of converting whole my old  
library of useful (to me at least) pieces of code to ca65 and archived  
lib files and I initially wanted to group related pieces into common  
source files but then I realised that - unless some really clever  
tricks are involved in the linker - I may end up wasting the scarce  
space by linking unused code from the object modules. It looks like I  
have to keep the independent code blocks separate, even if they are  
closely related.
