Make the vital lines in XYZ.nb "Initialization" cells then
save it to create XYZ.m this can now be run with the "Get"
or "Needs" function as a Package

<<XYZ`

you will probably want it in the same directory as your current
notebook; Mathematica won't look there unless you tell it; I find
this useful for doing that - the current notebook (ABC.nb in your
case) needs to have been saved.

SetDirectory[ToFileName@("FileName"/.NotebookInformation[EvaluationNotebook[]]/.{"FileName"->""})[[1]]]
