please open the attachment to see my question about using "include"
inside a loop.  an attachment was the only way i could figure out how to
import text into a netscape email message.

please note that i am using euphoria 1.4, if that makes any difference.

thanks

joe

i have been working on a program for some time now and have gotten to a point
where it needs a basic
redesign in order to be more easily maintained.

------------------------------------------------------------------

what i am doing now (with 8 functions instead of just two) :

function FirstFunction(parameter list)
        do stuff
        return value
        end function

function SecondFunction(parameter list)
        do stuff
        return value
        end function

while NotEndProgram
        FirstFunction(parameter list)
        do processing here
        SecondFunction(parameter list)
        do more processing here
        end while

this works but is almost 600 lines long and is quite difficult to maintain and
modify.  however, it does
work and allow the program to loop (requesting data, doing calculations, etc)
until i decide to stop it.

------------------------------------------------------------------

what i have managed to do so far :

include FirstFunction.ex
do processing here
include SecondFunction.ex
do more processing here
etc.

with FirstFunction, SecondFunction, and others in separate files.  this allows
me to have the functions
in separate files, and call them.  unfortunately, it runs only once and then
stops.  if i want to enter
more data to be processed, i have to start the program over again.

------------------------------------------------------------------

what i would like to do :

while NotEndProgram do
        include FirstFunction.ex
        do processing here
        include SecondFunction.ex
        do more processing here
        end while

with FirstFunction, SecondFunction, and others in separate files. 
unfortunately, euphoria doesn't seem
to like "include" inside a while loop.  is there any way around this, that
allows the program to loop and
still have the functions in separate files?

thanks
