Well it appears you found the question, but think I was talking about
the length of the file, I wasn't.
I said: Change the include file like this:
sequence mynumber
mynumber = {10,10} -- was just integer 10
global procedure changemynumber(integer instance, atom number)
mynumber[instance] = number
end procedure
<etc>
Then, instead of:
include test.e as test1
include test.e as test2
test1:changemynumber(5)
test2:changemynumber(0)
?test1:x
You can just have:
include test.e
changemynumber(1,5)
changemynumber(2,0)
?x[1]
My question was:
Is there something much more difficult about your program which means
this approach cannot be used?
I believe this is far more flexible and involves far less overhead
than abusing the include as statement, and with a few constants, eg
INPUT=1, OUTPUT=2, makes it easier to read.
