It seems to me, that regarding to namespaces, one aspect of this hasn't been discussed yet (unless I missed it). Say we have the following three files: ------=-------------------------=------ -- main.exw include inc_1.e as one include inc_2.e as two one:show() two:show() ------=-------------------------=------ ------=-------------------------=------ -- inc_1.e global procedure show () puts(1, "printing from 'inc_1.e'\n") end procedure ------=-------------------------=------ ------=-------------------------=------ -- inc_2.e global procedure show () puts(1, "printing from 'inc_2.e'\n") end procedure ------=-------------------------=------ Running 'main.exw' prints: printing from 'inc_1.e' printing from 'inc_2.e' OK. Now we change inc_2.e ... ------=-------------------------=------ -- inc_2.e include inc_a.e ------=-------------------------=------ ... and add a file inc_a.e: ------=-------------------------=------ -- inc_a.e global procedure show () puts(1, "printing from 'inc_a.e'\n") end procedure ------=-------------------------=------ Now running 'main.exw', I'd expect to see: printing from 'inc_1.e' printing from 'inc_a.e' But Euphoria (interpreter 2.4 Beta) says: printing from 'inc_1.e' D:\test\main.exw:6 show has not been declared two:show() ^ Why doesn't this work? By changing 'main.exw', so that no namespaces are needed, of course 3 files "in a row" work fine: ------=-------------------------=------ -- main.exw include inc_2.e show() ------=-------------------------=------ ------=-------------------------=------ -- inc_2.e include inc_a.e ------=-------------------------=------ ------=-------------------------=------ -- inc_a.e global procedure show () puts(1, "printing from 'inc_a.e'\n") end procedure ------=-------------------------=------ Best regards, Juergen -- /"\ ASCII ribbon campain | |\ _,,,---,,_ \ / against HTML in | /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ X e-mail and news, | |,4- ) )-,_..;\ ( `'-' / \ and unneeded MIME | '---''(_/--' `-'\_)
