separate vimrc into two file?

I'm going to upload my vimrc to githug. But some settings is not general(e.g. on slower machine I dont use cursorcolumn)

So I don't want to put all my settings in one file. How to do this? Is there something like 'source' in bash?

to avoid errors if the file doesn't exist surround it with if filereadable.
I have generalized and shared my vimrc and have a line that sources a .vimrc.loc in the users home directory to allow for customization by people that use my vimrc.

if filereadable($HOME."/.vimrc.loc")
    source ${HOME}/.vimrc.loc
endif

There is a source command in vim

:so[urce] {file}    
        Read Ex commands from {file}.  These are commands that
        start with a ":".
        Triggers the |SourcePre| autocommand.
