Perhaps <u>I</u> didn't clarify well enough.
Don't you think, that just MAYBE, out of the thousands of euphoria 
source files I have, that 2 of them share the same file name, although 
the contents are DIFFEREENT!!!

The examples I gave happen to be identical, because they are minimal 
examples.

Explain your logic for such a rediculous enforcement.

That's just plain STUPID. Isn't euphoria cross platform!!!?
I should be able to use include lib\foo.e or lib/foo.e on any platform.
