also maybe read the discussion here first, I think the include twice problem has been mentioned quite a few times, and not just me thinking this should be done automatically

> Hey folks. I’m new to Julia, and loving every aspect of it… except for ways of splitting code over multiple files and folders. There, I swiftly discovered that existing ways just don’t really seem to cut it. Julia primarily uses include(...) to get at code in other files, which [everyone with an opinion on language design seems to agree that you shouldn’t do](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13570947/what-is-the-difference-between-import-and-include-choices-in-language-design). Fundamentally, you have to deal with issues of files being included multiple times. Solutions to this problem (only including files once;…

and for whoever is looking for an actual package suffering from the include twice problem, I’m afraid there is none. When a package gets registered one has already workaround this by either splitting things out into packages or doing it by hand, I still remember some package authors would left a comment in their top module file like `# do not change the include order`, but I cannot remember which package is this, maybe someone could remind me.

I mean again isn’t this simply a human brain burden? why are we doing something that can be done automatically?
