Well, I'm new myself, but I am pretty good with C++, and that's the first command you learn in C++. So, I'm not sure what it does in DB.

includes are just code modules aside from the default one generated when you start a new project. It's a good way to organize your code. Use the project manager thing in the IDE to include external code modules, don't use include command - it's bugged. C++ includes are beyond the scope of dbp as c++ includes are function libraries and headers.

I have a question about using additional functions via include. Do such functions have access to your global variables or do you have to send them? Thanks.

@ EK666 - I meant don't use #include command from code, use the project manager to add the included files to the project, the code-only version has been known to be buggy.

@ brianT - I haven't tried that yet. Someone here will know tho.

When you inclue a file in the ide project tabs the ide just appends it to your main source file when it is compiled so all your functions work the same as if they where at the bottom of your main source file.

and to conclude, yep, global variables can be used absolutely anywhere, provided they are declared in the main project file.

Hexgear, thats not quite right. Global variables can be used absolutely anywhere provided they are declared outside a function.

I say this because in my project I have global variables being declared outside a function in my #included files. They work fine.

I feel kind of retarded asking this question, and it's a little off topic. When you MAKE FINAL on DarkBASIC Classic, does it include all the code you've #included?
