Hm... Lets just describe this:
An include file contains a macro. Only an
object-declaration inside this macro is
declared, everything else is local...

So, when I call the macro, the declared
object is accessable. Now, inside the
macro, other files are included (which I did
a long time ago to keep different cores
of algorithms apart and easy accessable
for further development). Certain parts
now have to be declared, in order for
the macro to see the thereby generated
data... Right?

Hm. But all #local of the macro are visible
to the included files (checked that one), but
what if I change them inside the included
files? Using locals creates a new parameter
local to that file. Does #declare now use the
formerly local value to the macro, or does it
overwrite it?
And then, after I've used declare, are those
values visible when the macro has finished?
I'll fiddle with it, but I hope that someone might
have an answer (would be quite painful if this
doesn't work out...).

Regards,
Tim
