That is absolutely possible. However not the same way it is done in Maya.

First, you can share entire materials. Second, you can use overrides to
share nodes. This is not 100% like the Maya way though. Here is a
tutorial that should get you started.

(Written during the XSI 3.0 era, so in 4.0+ you will not need to do the
scripting override trick. I should update the turorial...)


Cheers
Bernard
