As far as I am concerned, the first one WAS a bug. If someone wants to
include the same file twice within their program, and have them act as
two completely seperate copies of the same file, they should be able to
- and the only concieveable way I can see of refering to them seperately
is by usage of the namespace function. I re-wrote my include file so it
handled being initated twice differently, but the point is, I should
have been able to do it that way.
And this one IS a bug, just not a bug with euphoria :P

My bad - I should have checked first.
Pitty being on an AMD doesn't insulate you from that problem :(
