  Since you will not understand what I'm saying above, let me clarify
before you make your inevitable indignated response:

  Suppose you have two C# source files of the same name, in different
directories, and they implement a class of the same name, but the
implementations are different. Then you have a third C# source file
that uses that class.

  Can you tell me, by looking at the source codes, which version of the
class will be used?

  How do you resolve this? That's right: You tell the compiler which files
it needs to compile.

  Exactly how is this situation different from your example?

  Once again you manage to find an inexistent flaw in C, even though it's
a completely trivial thing that exists in *all* languages, including your
greatly beloved C#. Somehow this triviality is not a flaw in C#, but it
is in C. You just love to find inexistent flaws in it.
