that's true but if you have n different files for n different
databases, then you have
n files to mantain when a query changes, and possible n sources of errors

doing queries on the fly doesn't take  too much time and the benefits
are great, and
a lot of the queries are doing on the fly rigth now

for example i picked a random SELECT


$dupe = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE
comment_post_ID = '$comment_post_ID' AND comment_author_url =
'$comment_author_url'");

it has two variables on it, so is doing on the fly.....  ;)
