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. Pete
