Includes Relation

The Includes relation states that a file is to include fields that have already been declared as being present in a structure file. The Includes relation allows the use of a group of fields or "a data structure," in several different files.

Specifying an Includes relation causes all of the fields in the included file to be present as non-key fields in the including file.

See the section Using Files for more information on structure files.
