Based on the answer It is possible to reference another SQL file from SQL script, on PostgreSQL, you can include another SQL's files just using the \i syntax. I just tested and is working good on PostgreSQL 9.6:

\i other_script.sql
SELECT * FROM table_1;
SELECT * FROM table_2;

By the @wildplasser comment:

psql -U postgres -h localhost -d postgres < "path to my main sql file"

From psql's perspective the main_sql file is just stdin, and stdin has no "filename". Use -f filename to submit a file with a name:

psql -U postgres -h localhost -d postgres -f filename.sql
