"machine.e" is included in "BStruct.ew", and "BStruct.ew" is included
in "Main.exw". So "machine.e" is indirectly included in "Main.exw".
It looks to me, as if the command 'include BStruct.ew as BS' only adds
the namespace qualifier to the global routines physically contained in
the file "BStruct.ew". Maybe.
If so, then IMHO it's the same problem, that is discussed in the thread
"A Problem with v2.4 (for Rob)".
