I highly suggest moving to spirit2 if you are planning to do any
refactorization. In spirit2 (http://spirit.sourceforge.net/home/)
we have some examples that highlight this:

calc6, calc7 and mini_c are examples of modular grammar constructions.
calc6 is simplest of the three and shows how you can:

1) embed grammars for modularization
2) separate the grammar definition (constructor) from the class declaration
3) instantiate a particular grammar template in a cpp file.
