Robert,
what will happen in this sort of case...


mycommon.e:
global constant True = (1 = 1),
                False = (1 = 0)

FILE_A.E:
include mycommon.e
  if ... = True then ...

FILE_B.E:
include mycommon.e
  if ... = True then ...


MainProg.ex:
global constant True = "TRUE",
                False = "False"

include FILE_A.E
include FILE_B.E

==================

In this sort of scenerio, which "True" constant is seen by FILE_A.E code?

Will we have to code something like ...

  if ... = mycommon.True  then ....

And will this be possible in mainProg.ex ...

  if ... = mycommon.True then return MainProg.True
