Calling Procedure in an .e file

I have a perfectly working program, and I want to turn it into an include=

file.  So I put procedure module_3() at the top, and end procedure at the=

bottom.  And I make sure that all the variable declarations in the includ=
e
file are outside the procedure.  (One can't declare stuff in a procedure?=
) =

If this is so, how can I declare private variables.  And of course, I
rename the file with an .e extention.

Than I have the following test.ex program:
The test program and the procedure include file are in the same directory=
,
the current directory, but it is not \euphoria\include.

-----test.ex-----
include 33matrix.e
procedure module_3()
-----end test.ex-----

Of course, for those expert Euphorians, you know this didn't work.  =


But when I added end procedure to the .ex file, it executed fine, which
means (I think) that it assumed that procedure module_3 was in the main .=
ex
file.  OK, so what are include files good for?  I don't get it.  How can =
I
call a procedure in an .e file?
