I don't think doing an 'include' inside a function is valid, but gretl seems
to stumble over this. Note for example that the function hu2() in check2.inp
is never called, but I still get a printout of "hello" before I get an error
message.
This is with 1.10.2 (not the latest snapshot).
Thanks, Sven. In principle, using "include" within a function should
work OK -- provided that it doesn't result in trying to define a
function inside a function, as happens in your example.
That is explicitly declared to the invalid in the User's Guide and
there's supposed to be a guard in place against it, but either the
guard has been subject to bitrot or it's somehow defeated by the
wrapping of a function definition in "include". Anyway, the behavior
exposed by your example is a bug, and I'll see about fixing it.
