There are many factors that go into choosing a structure for a project of
course. I like to minimize jsb files because I have found a small delay when
loading many of them on every Alt+Tab into an app, though my testing was long
ago.
On the other hand, some scripters like to keep a set of utilities to use across
many projects in a jsb file. This can allow the utilities to be updated and
immediately apply to all projects (with all the good and bad this
implies :-) ).

As Doug says, an include statement is like a cut and paste operation and
simply inserts text from the included file at the location where the include
statement is located.
The use statement gives access to the pre-compiled functions and variables
which it references.
As a result the compile time when using the "use" statement" should be much
shorter than if an include statement was used since the include statement
just inserts additional code and has to be compiled each time the source is
compiled. The "use" method might also lead to a much smaller footprint
for the program if it just acts as pointers to the functions and variables
within the original jss file or can be loaded dynamically when needed rather
than statically. I don't know how this is treated by the compiler or OS.

Hi Doug,
Thanks, I've been scripting for a number of years but never knew that!
Are there guidelines as to when to use which construct?
Thanks,
Sean.

Include loads source in at compile time, as if the included file is part of
the current file. The result all comes out in a single jsb file when
compiled.
Use loads another jsb file at run time, so both jsb files are simultaneously
executing. You don't even have to have jss source for the jsb file you load
with that one.

Hi,
Is there a difference between include vs use.
I'm looking at some scripts and they have some jsl files that are usinghte
include syntax and I feel they should be using the use syntax, but I
wondered what the actually differences are in practice, if any.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean.
