[Click] compound element in separate file?

[Eddie Kohler]

Hi Nele,

You can't do this exactly.  However, people have had good success using cpp 
(the C preprocessor) as a front end.  For example:

classes.clickp
================================
elementclass X { ... }

x.clickp
================================
#include "classes.clickp"
X;

================================
Then:

% cpp x.clickp | click

or

% cpp x.clickp | click-install
