import a function from an "mqh" file

[parham.trader]

Hi

I'm writing an script and I want to use a function which I've written previously in an "mqh" file, in my script and I don't want to do a simple copy-paste and put the code in my script, instead I want to use #import to use the previously written function in my script. As I read the documentation, it stated that the #import can only be used to import functions from .dll and .ex4 files so I'd appreciated if anyone can help me know whether I can use the #import for ".mqh" files as well or not.

Please be noted that I can easily use #include to have my .mqh file codes in my script, but because some minor problems I'd prefer not using #include for having my .mqh file codes in my scripts.

Your kind guidance is highly appreciated.

Use #include

#import is for something else

Thank you for your kind answer,
May I know what it is exactly for?

As I describe in my previous post, I'd prefer an alternative solution for #include.

If you do not want to use #include, then you should not save the code in mqh files (since mqh files are, by common convention, include files in MQL https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/basis/preprosessor/include)
