No, that's not possible because haskell will use the module name A.B.C
to look the module up in path A/B/C.[l]hs.
So using modules
module A where
..
module B where
the compiler could only find one of them. (naming the file A.hs or B.hs)
You have to use one file for each module

I think there is another tool somewhere to merge many modules into one.
But I don't think that's what you're looking for. (I haven't tried that
myself)
