#include and #include

[SImplify]

Hi there,

Quick question.

I have three files.

main.au3

main_functions.au3

functions.au3

In the top of main.au3 I have

#include "main_functions.au3"

#include "functions.au3"

Now I will need to call one_function (=functions.au3) also in file main_functions.au3 but I have not succeed to do that. I have #include-once statement in functions.au3 and main_functions.au3 and then I try to add #include "functions.au3" in main_function.au3 I got error message -> ERROR: one_function() already defined.

Can you help me?

Cheers

I am having trouble following the scenario, could you post your code or an example that does the same things?

;main.au3
#include "functions.au3"
#include "main_functions.au3"

.....
logi()
;works fine

------------------

;functions.au3
#include-once
func logi()
;write some log
endfunc

------------------

;main_functions

;How can I call function logi() here?
;like below
func some()
   logi()
endfunc

By including functions.au3 in main_functions file I got error message: ERROR: logi() already defined.

Are the two logi functions identical?

Could you copy and paste the exact error syntax into the forum?

There are only one logi function (in functions.au3) and I would like to call that function both in main.au3 and main_functions.au3. If I put #include "functions.au3" in top of functions_main.au3 file the exact error message are: ERROR: function log() already defined.

Why do you need #include-once in functions.au3? That is the problem.

What I am unsure of is if you include functions.au3 in main_functions.au3, and then include main_functions.au3 in main.au3, will main.au3 have the ability to call functions from functions.au3?

Graphically:

If main.au3 > includes > main_functions.au3 > which includes > functions.au3

can main.au3 > access functions in-----------------------------------------^ ?

BIG Thxs! Now it works!

What I thought was, that you can include whatever whereever if you had that #include-once statements in included files.

If i add '#include "functions.au3" ' to main_functions.au3 it still works OK for me. Are you sure you've not got another definition of logi() somewhere. Edited September 10, 2004 by Jon

try this to see it fail with:

....main_functions.au3 (5) : ==> Duplicate function name.: func some()

;main.au3
#include-once
#include "main_functions.au3"
#include "functions.au3"
logi()

;functions.au3
#include-once
#include "main_functions.au3"
func logi()
;write some log
endfunc

Well that's fair enough, main_functions.au3 doesn't have an #include-once.

Or you can just copy and past the funcs you need in the botton of your script.

That's how it works for me too...
