Is it possible to read functions from other files in darkbasic?

I am reasonably new to darkbasic and have a game going right now, but the code is starting to get a bit untidy with all the functions at the bottom. Is there any way that you could read the functions in from another file, similar to reading data from arrays in from other files?

All help much appreciated, thanks.

Just to clarify what I mean by that - I mean have the function definitions themselves in other files, so that I can simply call the functions in the main program.

The #include directive does exactly that.
Syntax: #include "libname.dba"

Ogres have layers.

Sorry to be a pain, but is there any chance you could elaborate a bit more on that?

I tried simply pasting the functions into a new file and then saving it, and including it, but Im guessing its not as simple as that, as it wouldnt run

What else needs to be done?
