[chuck-users] include/import (am noob)

[Jordan Orelli]

use Machine.add.  The docs aren't descriptive, but when you Machine.add a ChucK program, any classes it defines will be available in the runtime for any future chuck programs you add to the VM.  The ChucK compiler is single-pass and has no concept of make files or a build system, though, so if you want one file to include another file, you have to have a third file that defines the order to add the files to the VM.

e.g., here's an example of a ChucK program that I invoke that imports a bunch of other utility files: https://github.com/jordanorelli/wii-chuck-synth/blob/master/resin.ck

if you look in resin_run.ck, I utilize some of the stuff that is imported in resin.ck.  resin_run.ck will fail to compile if those other files aren't already loaded into the VM, so it's resin that I run from the command line.
