Include Files

PMI allows for inclusion of other .PMI files, all of which must conform to 
the PMI language. The include files should be in the same directory as the 
current .PMI file. There can be more than one #include statement in a .PMI 
file. The include .PMI files can have #include statements to include other 
.PMI files. An Include file facility is provided in order to offer 
flexibility in supporting multiple adapter configurations with a single 
.PMI file. Failure to locate the include .PMI file does not cause the 
unloading of the SVGADATA.PMI file. 

The external binary objects are included using a #includecode directive, 
and flat PMI sub-files are included using a #include directive. The 
include statement can be found anywhere in the .PMI file as long as it 
does not violate the integrity of the section before and the section 
after, and as long as the references to the objects belonging to the 
include file are made after the inclusion. 

External binary objects are considered "binary include" files. The 
VIDEOPMI parser attempts to load the module as a 32-bit DLL and attempts 
to resolve the procedural addresses for every external code reference made 
using all of the loaded module. If the loading or address resolution 
fails, the loading of the .PMI file fails.
