Here's what I think is happening: when gretl saves your session, it saves all the functions that were active at the time, including any functions supplied by SVAR, in a sort of "pseudo-package" named functions.xml. Then if you reopen the session and do "include SVAR.gfn" gretl reckons you're trying to overwrite the functions already in memory (restored from the session file) with some alien versions, and doesn't like that. I think this should probably be considered a bug, and we'll think about how best to fix it, but as a workaround, you could try _not_ doing "include SVAR.gfn" after reopening the session file, since the SVAR functions should in fact be present already.
