My preprocessor works around those things (no double includes, 
specifically), and as mentioned, the one that was really important for 
me is that it takes the error output from the chuck executable and 
retranslates it back to the original source file where the error came 
from.  I don't find the "public" mechanism in ChucK particularly useful.

I just copied over my ChucK directory to my home page space -- there are 
a bunch of classes there in a couple thousand lines of code, some 
working some not, but it should give an idea of how I use the include 
mechanism.
