I am sorry, but that is not possible. It does not matter that you have your strings split between multiple named resource files -- Android combines them all when it compiles your project.

You are welcome to use prefixes or something to identify one set of strings from another. I do that with the support code for the Android Parcel Project, to allow reusable components to each define strings without one overwriting the strings of another.
