Multiple Includes Question?

An include file is a scripting file of some type (asp, php) that has code that is usually meant to be reused in more than one page. This file is "included" usually at the top of each page that needs to use the functionality of the file.

Multiple includes just means that you have more than one include file.

Best to ask and find out right?

Anyway, I'm assuming (I can be wrong) you are talking about multiple includes related to include files in C/C++ program. This is where, because of nesting of include files, the same file can be include more than once potentially causing duplicate definition problems.

Two ways to deal with the

1) use #ifndef and #define at the beginning of an include file so the contents are only use once. eg.,

#ifndef MAPINCLUDES_110320081112

#define MAPINCLUDES_110320081112

// includes in here

#end ifndef

2) better solution, put all of your includes in stdafx.h which is precompiled and preprocessed. This greatly speeds up build time.

Hope that is what you are looking for.
