asp_web_howto thread: #includes....


Message #1 by "Owen Mortensen" <ojm@a...> on Mon, 23 Apr 2001 08:59:39 -0700
Anyone know if there's a way to see if some other file has already included

a file before including it in the current file.



For example, in C I'm used to coding like this:



(In the file to be included:

#IFNDEF file_h

  #DEFINE file_H

#ELSE

  ....the stuff for file_H

#ENDIF)



Then I can include file.h in any number of files and it will only actually

be loaded in the _first_ file that includes it.



Is there any such functionality in ASP?



TIA,

Owen

ASP 2.0 does not have a built-in way to do conditional includes.  One

possible solution is to encapsulate your code in functions and conditionally

call those functions.  You can set a variable to indicate whether you have

called the function yet to avoid calling it again.

you cannot have conditional include files as files are included before any

script is executed
