	I would like to know the best way to set up include files in a project.
The problem I have is that say I make a module called foo.c which the main.c
uses.  In main.c I say #include "foo.h" and foo.c is also listed in the project
file.  But since I also include foo.h within foo.c the compiler says there
are duplicate declarations!  Am I doing something wrong?  I need the info in
foo.h for both main.c and foo.c, how do I do this?  Thanks.

It sounds as if you're declaring variables in your header file.  You
probably shouldn't do this; the header file usually needs only contain
such information as #defines, prototypes, and structure tag definitions.
Actual variable declarations in a header file would be (I think) unusual,
and this sounds like the problem you're having.  Declare the variables
in main.c and/or foo.c, not in the header file.

Hope this helps,
Norman
