<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <!-- HEADER -->
    <include android:id="@+id/top_header"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true" layout="@layout/layout_header" />


    <!-- FOOTER -->
    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/bottom_menu"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"         
        android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
        <!-- menu bar -->
        <include layout="@layout/layout_footer_menu" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <!-- MAIN PART -->
    <LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_below="@id/top_header" android:layout_above="@id/bottom_menu"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:id="@+id/sub_content_view"
        android:paddingBottom="5sp" android:background="#EAEAEA">
    </LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

It is better to set to MAIN PART both:

android:layout_below="@id/top_header" android:layout_above="@id/bottom_menu"

In your case content will be under the footer and scroll bar will be shown incorrect.

Also you need place footer in code above content - android want see ID's (@id/bottom_menu) if it wasn't define before.
