inner classes in different files

My classes are a bit large, so I want to split Outer and Inner into different files, but I still want to retain the structure, meaning that I have to type Outer.Inner because that's what makes the most sense in my application.

// Outer.scala

class Outer
object Outer {
    class Inner
    object Inner
}

How would I go about doing that?

As far as I know Scala doesn't have partial classes like C#, so I'm a little lost on how to go about it.

I have seen this question and I'm not sure that it's helping me in this situation.

Perhaps split them out in traits and then mixin

// Foo.scala
trait Foo {
  class Inner
  object Inner
}

// Outer.scala
object Outer extends Foo

so now Outer.Inner still works.
