The documentation on Modules and the usage of “using” vs “include” is a not crystal clear I think. I have a main Julia script and three scripts in separate .jl files (in the same directory). main.jl include("script1.jl") include("script2.jl") include("script3.jl") <some code> end of scri…

[image] phillefjonk: Is this the right way of thinking of the include statement? Yes [image] phillefjonk: What is then the difference of using the “using” statement vs the include statements? using (and import or importall) are completely different from include. They lookup a module i…

Julia’s include is a function, not a simple input redirector (as in C, Fortran, or Matlab). The documentation says (emphasis mine) include(path::AbstractString) Evaluate the contents of a source file in the current context. “The current context” means the global scope of the current module when…

It seems using/import is equivalent to include when loading a file in LOAD_PATH: #test.jl in pwd() x = 1 module Foo y = 2 export y end ###### julia> push!(LOAD_PATH,pwd()) julia> import test WARNING: requiring "test" in module "Main" did not define a corresponding module. julia> whos() …

This is an side effect of module loading/evaling in the Main module, which is also where the REPL runs. Doing things other than defining a module and expect those side effects be preserved will not work in general.
