Need to include one file multiple times, how to avoid warning

I don’t see anything wrong with including a simple file that just contains some constants multiple times. Am I missing any issues this could generate?

It’s definitely not recommended in Julia. Any types or functions defined in that file will be defined twice, and those two definitions will be completely different, despite having the same name. This can lead to confusing situations. For some examples of real-world problems caused by multiple includes, see:

• Trouble importing a module that depends on another globally imported module
• Local Modules with Conflicting Names and Module Management
