All,  
Firstly, thanks in advance.

My question is why the error (see below) and what to do about it?  
It would appear something has changed between versions.  
I have some third party code that runs well in version 0.6 but throws errors in 1.0.

In a file: XYZ.jl we declare a module.

Then from julia we say,  
julia\> using XYZ

In 1.0, Julia complains: ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: include not defined

```julia
# The module in question
module XYZ
...no problems here...
end
# Then we have a series of include statements.  
# Notice the include statement comes after the module declaration has ended.
# These includes run properly in 0.6 but throw the 
# aforementioned error when run in 1.0
include("abc.jl")
include("def.jl")
... more includes...

```

Thanks again
