As mentioned in the other answers, you can include mixins in other mixins. In addition, you can scope your mixins.

Example

.menu {
  user-select: none;

  .theme-dark & {
    color: #fff;
    background-color: #333;

    // Scoped mixin
    // Can only be seen in current block and descendants,
    // i.e., referencing it from outside current block
    // will result in an error.
    @mixin __item() {
      height: 48px;
    }

    &__item {
      @include __item();

      &_type_inverted {
        @include __item();

        color: #333;
        background-color: #fff;
      }
    }
  }
}

Will output:

.menu {
  user-select: none;
}

.theme-dark .menu {
  color: #fff;
  background-color: #333;
}

.theme-dark .menu__item {
  height: 48px;
}

.theme-dark .menu__item_type_inverted {
  height: 48px;
  color: #333;
  background-color: #fff;
}

Scoping mixins means that you can have multiple mixins named the same in different scopes without conflicts arising.

You can multi nest mixins, you can also use place holders inside mixins..

@mixin a {
  color: red;
}
@mixin b {
  @include a();
  padding: white;
  font-size: 10px;
}
@mixin c{
  @include b;
  padding:5;
}
div {
  @include c();
}

which gives out CSS

div {
  color: red;
  padding: white;
  font-size: 10px;
  padding: 5;
}
