Can multiple Compass components managed through single yaml file?

[Abhaykumar Patil]

Currently, Compass doesn't support multiple components configured / linked through single yaml file. Is that something Compass team thinking as a future use case?

As there could be many components of similar configurations, it would be cumbersome to create separate folders to configure individual yaml files for that many components.

We POC'd this yesterday, you can have 2 compass components correlated to 1 repository by adding 2 compass.yml files. The compass.yml files have a componentId so they are smart enough to pick up the context and process changes to the correct compass component. 

--- Edit
Just read the rest of your Question :)
But this doesnt specifically solve your problem of avoiding processing several similar files
