Al, the example you gave worked fine, flagging the line of code in
your program which now needs a namespace qualifier.  The following
shows how to get this problem in a way that would force you to edit
someone elses code:

--Someone else's code:
lib1.e is:
	include subs1.e
	d()
subs1.e is:
	global procedure d() ?{1} end procedure

--Another persons code:
lib2.e is:
	include subs2.e
	d()
subs2.e is:
	global procedure d() ?{2} end procedure

--Your code can then have all the namespace qualifiers you can shake a
--stick at, it will always bomb (even with your include twice idea):
	include lib1.e as x
	include lib2.e as y


What I think is needed is that if you are "inside" an include as
statement, then it should automatically select globals defined since
that "as" directive over any defined beforehand.


You would still have the task, when you have reams of existing,
non-namespace qualified code, of a global edit (which really you must
admit is not that difficult - I do it all the time. Maybe your editor
is not up to scratch - Try Meditor
