Hi,
  I'm writing a program that has two source files (.c) that import
  a common .h file. This .h file includes another .h file that contains
  some variable declarations. When I try to run this program, THINK C
  compiler complains with "link failed : multiply defined variables" and 
  gives me the list of variables that I declared in the second .h file
  (the one included by the other .h file). These variables are of type
  unsigned long, not initialized, nor of class static.

Any of you care to give me some pointers on this ?
I have succesfully compiled, linked, and run the program under MPW 3.0.
I've tried to use "#ifndef" at the beginning of the .h file, but
still got the same problem.

Thanks a lot,
