You're right this is a linking issue and now the question is at which level you want to "link" your code. I do not see the point of including a cmo in another like you describe : i believe there are simpler and mainstream options. Maybe I miss some details about your problem ? Using findlib to help the linker is one way to do it, but if you insist on loading a single module then you have two other options :
- code inclusion -> m4, camlmix, camlp4 or any preprocessor (not that ugly, but still)
- the -pack option for combining several cmo in a single one (but then all your modules are included in a "toplevel" module)
sorry if i still didn't get your problem ;o).

Philippe Veber a écrit :No, no, no... this is not the issue at all. My issue is not about loading stuff with findlib, it's about including a .cmo into another .cmo. I'd like to create a .cma with only a.ml, and not containing b.ml.
Hi
maybe you can have a look at findlib and its #require statement. For
instance, pxp (xml related library) depends on many cma, but everything
loads automagically when invoking #require :
It's not a toplevel issue, but a 'linking' issue.
Thanks anyway.

Hello.
Imagine I have a file named a.ml containing
module C = struct
include Band a file named b.ml containing the code
end
let f x = x + 1
When I compile everything to .cmo files, I cannot load a.cmo from the
toplevel without loading b.cmo beforehand.
Is there a way to make the 'include B' statement to include the code of the
B module in the C submodule directly so that it is not required to load the
b.cmo file before loading the a.cmo file?
That would be extremely useful to me...
All the best,
