No. For your code to know about them, you must define them somewhere.
A file which is included in others is as good as any - and quite
efficient. But efficiency shouldn't be your problem right now anyway.
Get it working; if you have performance problems. find the cause of your
performance problem and fix it. Including a configuration file will not
be the problem.
