Re: confusion about include

The Euphoria 4.0 documentation, under "4.8.1 include" does not clearly explain "public" and "export".
What exactly do these lines do?
include file1.e public include file2.e export include file3.e -- Is there such a thing as global include file4.e
It used to be simple. Include something and it's included for all my files. What do I gotta do to make it work like it used to?
Hi
Still can keep it simple. Here's what I do, distilling out all the other stuff from Derek and Matt
1. old global still works, or use new export for functions / procedures / variables / constants (plea to devs - please make sure global stays working!) 2. for every 'new file' within your program, include the file that contains the function / procedure or global variable you want to access from your 'new file' 3. use of namespaces is entirely optional
Converted my 20000 + line vet program a while ago using these rules, and it works absolutely fine.
Someone is bound to say, 'yes, but what about the case when.....' - these are likely to be few and far between cases, and I'll cross those bridges when I come to them.
