--- id: include title: Including Other Contracts --- import Syntax from '@theme/Syntax'; Let us say that we have a contract that is getting a too large. If it has a modular structure, you might find it useful to use the `#include` statement to split the contract up over multiple files. You take the code that you want to include and put it in a separate file, for example `included.ligo`: <Syntax syntax="pascaligo"> ```pascaligo // Demonstrate PascaLIGO inclusion statements, see includer.ligo const foo : int = 144 ``` </Syntax> <Syntax syntax="cameligo"> ```cameligo // Demonstrate CameLIGO inclusion statements, see includer.mligo let foo : int = 144 ``` </Syntax> <Syntax syntax="reasonligo"> ```reasonligo // Demonstrate ReasonLIGO inclusion statements, see includer.religo let foo : int = 144; ``` </Syntax> And then you can include this code using the `#include` statement like so: <Syntax syntax="pascaligo"> ```pascaligo #include "included.ligo" const bar : int = foo ``` </Syntax> <Syntax syntax="cameligo"> ```cameligo #include "included.mligo" let bar : int = foo ``` </Syntax> <Syntax syntax="reasonligo"> ```reasonligo #include "included.religo" let bar : int = foo; ``` </Syntax>
