Is there any benefits / costs to including multiple dbas in one dbpro file aside from it being easier to read?

Thanks

When i place code in Includes, (Startup Code or Functions), its because them sections are complete and if there not in the main DBA, it meens theres less chance of me messing them up.

It also looks smarter

You might also have a set of generic functions that you include in different projects.

From personal experience, I never use .dbpro project files, as I'd find empty dba files from time to time when I opened them up.

I do use many dba files together, with the #include statement, and this way seems perfectly safe. The second I use a dbpro project file, entire dba files that could sometimes have been up to 10k lines long; I can find empty next morning with a size of 0 bytes.
