At the very top of your file, before anything (except maybe the <?xml version="1.0" ...?> line if it exists) put in a DOCTYPE tag as described below. The entity tag within it will define the external file to include. Place &virtualhosts; where you want that file to be included as in:
<!DOCTYPE Server [ <!ENTITY virtualhosts SYSTEM "file:/etc/tomcat4/virtualhosts.xml"> ]>
<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">
.... lot of config stuff including global resources and service tag......
<Engine .......>
<Host ...(if any are defined within the file)....>
.... more config stuff including contexts if any.....
</Host>&virtualhost ;
</Engine>
</Server>
Note: DOCTYPE is a special case -- there is no terminating </DOCTYPE> tag. Putting one in will only cause an error.
virtualhosts.xml should be just a fragment of the server.xml file -- preferably just the <Host> open and close tags and all the stuff within them.
If you need more info on this way of doing things, I strongly recommend consulting some documentation on XML files either online or in books. It'll help to understand the XML standard better.

ok, so I put this into my server.xml underneath the last <Host> entry
<!ENTITY virtualhosts = "SYSTEM /etc/tomcat4/virtualhosts.xml" />
?! Uh, that's not even close to what I sent :-)
<!DOCTYPE Server [ <!ENTITY virtualhosts SYSTEM "file:/etc/tomcat4/virtualhosts.xml"> ]>
That goes right *before* the <Server ...> tag at the top of your server.xml file...
&virtualhosts;
The above line can then follow your other <Host> block.
HTH!
