That's usually done by linking multiple object files together.

What normally is done (assuming that only one of the code pieces has a main() ) is to compile each of the sourcefiles into a separate object file and then link them all into one program.
To simplify a compile you can create a makefile to do this, or create a project in IDE's like Visual Studio.
An example using g++
g++ file1.cpp file2.cpp file3.cpp -o myprogram ~s.o.s~ commented: Good help - ~s.o.s~ +8
