[chuck-users] imports/includes (Curtis Ullerich)

[Curtis Ullerich]

Thanks for the reply, Perry. This is indeed what I've taken to doing.

In the GameTrak wrappers
<https://github.com/curtisullerich/computer-music/tree/master/chuck/gametrak>
I've written I have public classes for Tether, GameTrak, Button, etc, that
all extend Event. The abstractions are useful, but it means any script that
uses them has to list them in the include.ck, and in the correct order,
even if the top-level GameTrak is all that is referenced:
Machine.add("external/gametrak/button.ck");
Machine.add("external/gametrak/point.ck");
Machine.add("external/gametrak/tether.ck");
Machine.add("external/gametrak/gametrak.ck");

I'd like to have each ck file declare its imports so users don't have to
know about these internals. Maybe there's a similar way to do this that I'm
not seeing yet.
