The following example from ONET.XML uses the Modules element to specify which modules to include within a configuration.

<Configuration ID="0" Name="Default">
   <Lists>
      <List Title="Shared Documents" Url="Shared Documents" QuickLaunchUrl="Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx" Type="101" />
      <List Title="General Discussion" Url="Lists/General Discussion" QuickLaunchUrl="Lists/General Discussion/AllItems.aspx" Type="108" />
      <List Title="Announcements" Type="104" Url="Lists/Announcements" />
      <List Title="Links" Type="103" Url="Lists/Links" />
      <List Title="Contacts" Url="Lists/Contacts" QuickLaunchUrl="Lists/Contacts/AllItems.aspx" Type="105" />
      <List Title="Events" Type="106" Url="Lists/Events" />
      <List Title="Tasks" Url="Lists/Tasks" QuickLaunchUrl="Lists/Tasks/AllItems.aspx" Type="107" />
      <List Title="Site Template Catalog" Type="111" Url="_catalogs/wt" RootWebOnly="TRUE" />
      <List Title="Web Part Catalog" Type="113" Url="_catalogs/wp" RootWebOnly="TRUE" />
      <List Title="List Template Catalog" Type="114" Url="_catalogs/lt" RootWebOnly="TRUE" />
   </Lists>
   <Modules>
      <Module Name="Default" />
      <Module Name="WebPartPopulation" />
   </Modules>
</Configuration>

A second Modules element within the same ONET.XML file defines the contents of each file within each module.

<Modules>
   <Module Name="Default" Url="" Path="">
      <File Url="default.aspx" NavBarHome="True">
         <View List="104" BaseViewID="0" WebPartZoneID="Left"/>
         <View List="106" BaseViewID="0" WebPartZoneID="Left" WebPartOrder="2"/>
         <AllUsersWebPart WebPartZoneID="Right" WebPartOrder="1">
            .
            .
            .
         </AllUsersWebPart>
         <View List="103" BaseViewID="0" WebPartZoneID="Right" WebPartOrder="2"/>
         <NavBarPage Name="Home" ID="1002" Position="Start"></NavBarPage>
         <NavBarPage Name="Home" ID="0" Position="Start"></NavBarPage>
