  Yes.  But I haven't yet found a use for include files which isn't
handled better by some other mechanism (i.e. separate specification
and body, or some other export/import system).  There probably is some
use, but I can't think of one offhand.

  Why don't all languages provide an export/import, ala Ada, Modula-2,
or most (non-standard) Pascal implementations?  Inertia?

	Anton, hoping for the perfect development environment within
	       the next century :-)
