No, splitting up the code into several files makes it easier for you to
organize your scene. You keep one main scene file and include all your
object-files in there. A little example:

//This goes into "myobject.inc"
#declare MyObject = {
    //Your nice little object goes here
}

//Your main scene file:

#include "myobject.inc"
/*
makes the content of the file myobject.inc available
in your main scene file
*/

object {
    MyObject
    //translate & rotate stuff
}

This way it's possible for you to have a pretty small main scene file that
is still manageable. And it's much easier for you to use an object from a
former scene in a new one. You could easily write in another scene #include
"myobject.inc" and you would have your object again...

The image is still rendered as a whole. So the whole thing is really just to
make your life much easier ;-)
