Hello Chris and Rob,

I just wanted to inject a few comments on some of what is being discussed, and
offer a second opinion on something to enhance this include process.

Taking something from Ruby, which I find quite useful in situations like this. 
Ruby has a global variable that can be modified at run time called $:, it's an
Array (Sequence in Euphoria), which holds a list of Search paths, in which to
find libraries, and ruby irritates through them, to try and find files.  If this
was possible to implement in Euphoria, it may solve a lot of problems dealing
with polluting the system environment table, along with making things modifiable
through execution of things to be included, at least within the Euphoria code.

This to would enhance the ability to avoid problems as what has been having.

Just an idea.
