Sounds like ordinary seperate compilation to me.

"Normal include file methodologies"? That doesn't make any sense. You have
the same functionality in every 'C' compiler I've ever seen or heard of.
Perhaps you're thinking of Pascal?

Does the Benchmark compiler track changes to the .DEF module and recompile
affected modules if you change it?
