RELATED IDEAS

Add ifdef and ifndef directives to the DXL interpreter to test for active includes and avoid repeated includes of the same files

the include directive is useful for structuring code and expanding scripts during runtime

the absence of ifdef / ifndef makes it impossible to test for and avoid repeated includes of the same code (.inc files)

this can create unnecessary and considerable load on storage infrastructure where the code/include files are stored

    We do need this feature because we have really a lot of DXL-libraries and Include-files and it makes a lot of effort (even for DXL-beginners) to manage and maintain multiple Include-files without the ifdef/ifndef statements.
