Do we really need to allow that though?

It seems like:

a) This is just another way to get the effect of defining a class (or mixin), but with none of the benefits.

b) Since this is the first we have seen of it, probably a little-used feature.

Could we scale back the set of things you do with includes at this point to be more like a normal language? I feel like some of the flexibility there was only needed in early stages of the language and perhaps are not so important now.

Yeah I forgot you could <include> code into anyplace except the top level.

We'd have to know that the two classes were identical too, which should be possible since you have your hands on the source element. Alternatively, we
could add a UID to the name.

I guess I didn't consider this case, that you might include the same file
more than once!

In the example scrollbar_example.lzx, there is a <include> which is used to
include a file twice, which contains
a view that has a method (oninit-handler) in it.

This causes the compiler to generate two class declarations with the same
name:


cd examples/components/
badtzmaru:components hqm$ lzc --runtime=swf9 scrollbar_example.lzx
Compiling: scrollbar_example.lzx to scrollbar_example.lzr=swf9.swf
Compilation errors occurred:
org.openlaszlo.sc.CompilerError: cannot declare class name more than once: "$lzc$class_view_$$2E$2E$2F$2E$2E$2Fexamples$2Fcomponents $2Ftestmedia$2Ffrosty$2Elzx_1_21"
badtzmaru:components hqm$

Maybe we need to have something that checks if one of these generated class
names is  identical
to one previously generated, and simply skip generating it more than once.
