How to define the filename to be included later?

[Eugen Funk]

Hi, I would like to do the following:

EA.mq5

#define FILE_TO_INCLUDE "Env1.mqh"

#include "Body.mqh"

Body.mqh

<... som stuff ... >


#include FILE_TO_INCLUDE

Its not working right away -- is that possible with some trick?

If there is no file definition it should not work right ? 

In that case you can gate it with 

#ifdef FILE_TO_INCLUDE
#include FILE_TO_INCLUDE
#endif

That will not work, you can't use #define with #include.

got it!

Thanks.

Already redesigned my file structure and the includes.
