This is not always possible: Imagine calling a include file inside a
loop, where the include file uses a global variable that has to be
changed for every run:

#local index = 0;
#while (index<10000)
	#declare This_Is_Used_By_The_Include = Some_Function(index);
	#include "someinclude.inc"
	#local index = index + 1;
#end

You'll always have to rely to some extent on the 3rd-party programmer,
even if you use real OOP-languages like C++ or Java.
