Thank you Jussi. That is just fantastic example that I intend to use for new projects.
The point I am trying to make should not have to become an OO v non-OO programming debate. The broadest difference is that #include and its cousins (#define, #undefine, #ifdef, #ifndef, #endif) are to do with preprocessing before a program runs. I cover the argument in next post to Bruce.
