+
+To split models across multiple files, you can do the following (works at least with revision 2819):
+
+{{{apps/polls/models/__init__.py}}}:
+{{{
+from poll import Poll
+from choice import Choice
+}}}
+
+{{{apps/polls/models/poll.py}}}:
+{{{
+from django.db import models
+
+class Poll(models.Model):
+    question = models.CharField(maxlength=200)
+    pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')
+
+    class Meta:
+        app_label = 'polls'
+}}}
+
+{{{apps/polls/models/choice.py}}}:
+{{{
+from django.db import models
+from poll import Poll
+
+class Choice(models.Model):
+    poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll)
+    choice = models.CharField(maxlength=200)
+    votes = models.IntegerField()
+
+    class Meta:
+        app_label = 'polls'
+}}}
+
+Ok so the example is a bit stupid but it should illustrate the point.
