Include Once or Import

Hello!
Is there an import (C style) or include_once (PHP style) statement for mobile?

I tend to use include files that appear to get 'included' more than once which presumably takes a performance hit.

There doesn't appear to be one documented but I'd love to see it. Anyone else?

  • I need this too. If you are implementing your own NavBar, then by using include to go to new windows and go back to old ones, you keep piling up the stack. How to make it include once and just call the included windows?

  • This is the standard include statement. I'm looking for an include "once" to stop the file getting included multiple times if it's called multiple times.

  • I guess you would need to make your own function include_once() which you would always call instead of include() - and that function would keep a list previously included files, and if the current file asking to be included is already in the list, then skip the include() statement…
