It's not a matter of including it twice.  His point was that your code should
include what it needs.  Your statement is actually the antithesis of modular
programming, IMHO.  Each module should explicitly declare its dependencies.
Euphoria has never required this, though it will at least generate a 
warning in 4.0.
