That's good idea, but I can't include a script via URL, because we deploy our system in offline environment.

include the other files from there. If you have the other files
available in the installation environment, it shouldn't be a problem.
And if you want to fetch kickstart file(s) over network and don't have
them available in the installation environment, you could use a trick of
having the ks URL pointing to a CGI script generating the kickstart
file. When combined with the 'kssendmac' boot option it can even provide
different kickstarts for different machines.
