Re: [julia-users] Re: Module Includes Problem
I wish this had been clearer from the start. My problem with *include* from the beginning was that it always seemed to require the full path of the file and when you're trying to write something for others with different paths this is impractical. *require* would seem to find it without the full path. Ever since I learned about LOAD_PATH and how to add to it I've discovered that *include* will also check there and that modules have issues with *require* so I'll switch them all over to *include*s. Finally the *include*s don't need the full path because of the LOAD_PATH updates. My takeaway from all of this is that I should use includes in functions and modules. Should I only use *require* for loading common functions into Julia in the .juliarc.jl file? Thanks for all the help.
Re: [julia-users] Re: Module Includes Problem
Great! I'm glad it works. :)
As Ivar said, you should keep in mind the difference between `require` and
`include`. Defaulting to using `include` inside module definitions should
avoid this kind of problem in the future.

Re: [julia-users] Re: Module Includes Problem
include("O:\\Code\\Julia\\dirlist.jl") does ineed work
dirlist.jl does not call or define any modules
Re: [julia-users] Re: Module Includes Problem
1) Have you tried changing the `require("dirlist.jl")` inside module
Aerodyne to `include("dirlist.jl")`? If so, what happened?
2) If that didn't work, does dirlist.jl define any modules?
