I have a large MX file, which I need to Get before running my analysis. The following code puts the symbol in the Global context:

Begin["Ctx1`"];
Get["dat.mx"];
End[];

However, I would like dat to be imported into the Ctx1 context, so that I can refer to it with Ctx1'dat. Is there any way to force this behaviour?

    $\begingroup$ The issue is the .mx file. It’s a binary representation that stores definitions directly, so it actually maintains the symbol context. If it were a .m file it’d be possible to do. Instead you’ll need to reassign the context after the fact—which is something you can read one of Leonid’s answers to learn how to do. $\endgroup$
