So, is it possible to place a live reference to one .svg file from another.
I am stuck on RedHat 4 using Inkscape 0.44 (Pity me.)

No you aren't. You can download and install Slackware Linux 13, and download and compile Inkscape 47 rc3. That's what I did. I had to download a fistful of libraries etc. first but the list is on the slackbuild site.
Changing my version of Linux is not an option.
I tried downloading and building Inkscape 46, but very quickly got into referenced library determine-find-download-compile hell. I gave up after determining, finding, downloading and trying to compile my 12th library dependency.
BUT THAT IS NOT WHY I AM HERE.
I was just wondering about live .svg file references.
Yes it's possible but not with Inkscape. SVG is XML and you can include a piece of XML from another file via the entities declaration. It's a bit tricky to do and Inkscape is likely to save the resulting image as a single file. I don't see any way to do what you want within Inkscape.
