Code in one file assuming code is present in another file. It only works if this is true. Keep all the files together and its fine. Split them up it's not fine, why split them up though there is no reason so it's a good idea. I am guessing it work faster because the assumptions arn't checked any more just assumed.

A shining example is how Microsoft 'tied-in' IE to Windows by splitting up the IE dlls and inserting them into others at random

I've actually stopped I.E. even though it gave me a warning doing so could stop other things from working.
