Unfortunately, this doesn't work on Linux. Neither does copying the file into 
a separate directory. Nor does putting quotes around the include names help
any. The only thing that works is changing the filename or extension.

This, to me, is a significant bug. There is no reason files test1.e and 
/anotherdir/test1.e should be treated as the same file. Perhaps they are 
completely different. Perhaps they are two completely different libraries 
written by two different people, but I want to utilize both in my program. 
Preferably without further confusing the issue by changing the names of other 
peoples' work.

-- test1.e (and test1.x) contains:
global atom x
 x = 0
-- end of test1.e

-- here's the main program;
include test1.e as one
include ./test1.e as two
include ./anotherdir/test1.e as three
include ./anotherdir/test1.x as four

one:x = 1
two:x = 2
three:x = 3
four:x = 4

? one:x
? two:x
? three:x
? four:x

-- Results:
3
3
3
4


So much for 'namespacing'.
