No, that was my mistake. I believe that was a bug in the alpha? version
of
Eu 2.3, but it seems to work fine under my comp with the most recent
version.

However, I also found another bug:

(in /opt/linux, $EUDIR = /opt/euphoria, /opt/linux is a symlink to
$HOME/space)

if i put this in a.exu and run it

include get.e
include ../euphoria/include/get.e --really /opt/euphoria/include/get.e

works, but making a.exu

include ../euphoria/include/get.e

claims that "../euphoria/include/get.e" cannot be found when run.

In fact, when I make it

include get.e
include ../euphoria/get.e --really /opt/euphoria/get.e

it still runs, despite the fact that ../euphoria/get.e does not exist!

For my namespace parser, the first and third cases will fail like the
second,
unlike exu which lets them continue to run and reports no errors.

Also, if i create $HOME/euphoria/get.e and put in it

global atom foo
foo = 1

and make a.exu

include get.e
include ../euphoria/get.e --really $HOME/euphoria/get.e
? foo

I get an error saying foo has not been declared???

even if I make a.exu (which my parser does btw)

include /opt/euphoria/include/get.e
include /home/jbrown/euphoria/get.e
? foo

It still fails???

it seems clear to me that this is a bug.
