You could make a good case for that behavior, but in fact,
the globals of foo.e are available automatically to bar.e and baz.e,
whether namespaces are defined or not.

You can include foo.e again if you want. 
All  subsequent includes of foo.e will be ignored (no error), 
except that you can specify a namespace identifier on 
any include statement, and even have multiple identifiers 
refering to the same include file.
