For eample one has 2 classes class1 and class2 both for the same purpose
(for example to fill a form). I add  the following piece of code to my
gambas
source code.

#IF class1.class
<code for class one>
#ENDIF

#IF class2.class
<code form class two>
#ENDIF

One can present code to some else without making changes
to the prpject just by removing one of the classes from the project folder.
The same code
can be used for two different purposes.

Yours sincerely,
