For speed and security, breaking mainfile.php into parts?

Hello again guys, I know most people don't bother reading this section but I just thought of posting it here and see you guys think of this:

The idea has been taken from CNBYA...What if we break the mainfile.php into many small files?

Code:

case "get_theme":
{
include("includes/main/gettheme.php");
} else {
disabled();
}
break;

And in includes/main/gettheme.php

Code:

with other necessary code needed and then we global everything in once...Hell, I have no idea what I am talking about but I hope someone gets the idea.

What you guys think? Yay or Nay?

Organizationally it might be nice. But as for speed, I would say that any increase would not be significant enough to matter.

Can we add the "if" function to the case like:

Code:

if case "get_theme":
{
include("includes/main/gettheme.php");
} else {
donothing();
}
break;

Or something like that, this way it won't call the quires for something that hasn't been used?

Case doesn't work that way. PHP will complain if you do that. In fact it won't even run.
