We have a legacy app with multiple asp.net themes. Each theme have a .skin file. Each skin file is almost identical except for some things. The files share a lot of similarities. Is it possible to share a common .skin file across themes?

Skin file used by ASP.NET applications; contains definitions of the visual styles of individual application controls, such as buttons, labels, text boxes, and calendars; can specify colors, fonts, layout styles, and other formatting options; used for changing the look and feel of the Web application.
A Global theme is a theme that is applied to all the web sites on a web server and includes property settings, and graphics. This theme allows us to maintain all the websites on the same web server and define the same style for all the web pages of the web sites.
A "theme" is a collection of property settings that allow you to define the look of pages and controls, and then apply the look consistently across pages in a Web application, across an entire Web application, or across all Web applications on a server.
It is possible by creating a base theme skin file somewhere and then using an include in the specific theme skin files.
For instance, you would define all your controls in baseTheme.skin and put it somewhere on your server. Then, in your specific theme file (theme.skin), you would do an include back to your base.
<!-- #include file="../themeBase.skin" -->
Unfortunately it's not possible, skins are by design contained within a theme:
