At least a few tools built on top of Clojure (not part of the base language implementation) might not work with multiple namespaces defined in the same file.
The library tools.namespace, for one, looks for only the first ns form in each source file, and assumes there are no more after that. I do not know for sure, but this might negatively impact the handling of multi-namespace source files in Stuart Sierra's reloaded workflow, which uses tools.namespace to determine the order to unload and reload namespaces. The Eastwood lint tool is very explicit about checking that the file name and namespace within the file have corresponding file/namespace names, and won't give any useful information other than about such mismatches, if they are found. I am not saying those are fundamental limitations of those tools that couldn't be improved (I don't know if they could -- maybe), but something to watch out for at least with their current implementations.
