No, the subroutines are compiled in one package, and only the names are
imported in each page from which you call Execute with the import parameter.
So the subroutines get resued. It's just the same as Perl's "use".

You can do so. Use import => 0, to only compile your subroutines and not
import the names in the namespace of your startup.pl:
Execute( { inputfile => '/include/subs.emb', package => 'Subs', import =>
0 } );
