  That's why there are #ifndefs and #declares at the beginning of the
include files. If the file is included a second time, the #ifndef will
skip it.

  If parsing speed is a worry then the #ifndef can be copied to be
around the #include command. That is, if an include file #includes
shapes.inc, then that inclusion could be written as:

#ifndef(SHAPES_INC_TEMP)
#include "shapes.inc"
#end

  This will somewhat speed up parsing.
