Multiple refs in YAML duplicated mapping key at line 43 error - yaml

Question

I am trying to get multiple refs into a YAML document to break down the size but get duplicated mapping key at line 43 error, is there a way to do this ? or am I just trying to break it down to much, the initial entry file goes to paths
'''
paths:
$ref: "./paths/_index.yaml"
then from there seperates to :
/Users:
get:
$ref: "./user/listUsers.yaml"
post:
$ref: "./user/createUsers.yaml"
/Users/{UserId}:
get:
$ref: "./user/showUserById.yaml"
list users then goes onto users schema as so :
content:
application/json:
schema:
ArrayOfUsers:
type: array
items:
$ref: '../../schemas/User.yaml'
'404':
description: no users were found
default:
$ref: "../../responses/UnexpectedError.yaml"
I then wanted to break up the parts in the users model so I could use them again instead of having a giant block
type: object
description: random corp
properties:
# contact_info:
# description: contact information
# type: object
# properties:
# firstName:
# type: string
# lastName:
# type: string
# companyName:
# type: string
# email:
# type: string
# phone:
# type: string
# address_info:
# description: address information of the alitus customer
# type: object
# properties:
# firstName:
# type: string
# lastName:
# type: string
# companyName:
# type: string
# email:
# type: string
# phone:
# type: string
# account_reference:
# description: Alitus customers number and id for referencing
# type: object
# properties:
# id:
# type: integer
# format: int64
# accountNumber:
# type: integer
# format: int64
$ref: "/Login/LoginDetails.yaml"
$ref: "/packageDetails/PackageDetails.yaml"
example:
type: array
items:
anyOf:
$ref: "../examples/UserExample.yaml"
xml:
name: User
Am I trying to separate it to much or can this be done in 3.0
here is the error

I figured it out, I just had to have one reference to an object that contained the multiple elements
so now I just call one
$ref: "/test.yaml"
and in the test file we just reference all the objects like so
Login:
$ref: "/Login/LoginDetails.yaml"
Package:
$ref: "/packageDetails/PackageDetails.yaml"
