This *shouldn't* happen - I have only done a little Python coding, but elpy and friends shouldn't do anything to ESS and friends.

You can load files via:
(load "~/path/to/my/elisp.el")
So you could to something like this in your init:
(load "~/.emacs.d/my-python-config.el")
(load "~/.emacs.d/my-ess-config.el")
(using require/provides and modifying your load-path is probably more idiomatic for elisp, but not necessary here)
It might be useful to break your code into files more granularly, using different files for common stuff, keyboard config etc - basically each section in your init.el. The benefit here is, once you've parceled out all the code, it will be very easy to comment out each section in turn and find out where the problems are coming from. As I mentioned before, you really should be able to have ESS and elpy together in the same config without them breaking each other.
This might help if you want to do more troubleshooting:
