I would like to see an example package where you experience this problem.

One way I have seen this solved is to have a #define, say '#define MAIN'

On the header file "header.h" you would have a declaration and a definition 
only if MAIN is defined, e.g.

extern int y;  /* declaration */
#ifdef MAIN
int y;          /* definition */
#endif

Most c files would include "header.h" and main.c would do this instead

#define MAIN
#include "header.h"

Thanks,

Ronaldo
