You don't use file[] = ... anymore. Instead, classes are autoloaded. For example, I have a module with the following file structure:

• views_hybrid/
• views_hybrid.info.yml
• views_hybrid.module
• src/
  • Plugin/
    • Field/
      • FieldFormatter/
        • HybridFormatter.php

HybridFormatter.php defines a class called HybridFormatter.

In my .module file, if I start typing in my IDE (NetBeans in this case) HybridFormatter it autocompletes to \Drupal\views_hybrid\Plugin\Field\FieldFormatter\HybridFormatter:: because it is autoloaded. Since I don't want that whole path littering my module, at the top I have placed the line,

use Drupal\views_hybrid\Plugin\Field\FieldFormatter\HybridFormatter;

along with use directives for other classes I am including for use with my module.
