Thanks, and sorry for my inability to google! EDIT: It looks as though that is specific to the REPL. While this solves my current issue, like the original stack overflow poster, I’d like to know if there is a way to tell if a file has been include()-ed or imported.

Between the two, that looks like it will work. Thanks both!
