Sorry, there is no switch for that. The closest you can do is 
use /IN... to specify multiple file specs (e.g. /IN*.txt /IN*.DOC 
etc) and you can use /CF to specify a command file which 
includes all those /IN commands. However you can only specify ONE 
source base directory.

The usual method to copy multiple source directories is to have a 
batch file with multiple xxcopy commands.

As discussed in a recent post, you might be able to achieve a similar 
result to using an include file list by instead using the /X... 
or /EX to exclude the files and directories you don't want 
to copy. Whether you could do this depends on the nature of the files 
to be copied.
