I'm trying to avoid code duplication, but have a very simple case where it seems inescapable utilitizing only the functionality of the ocaml tools. In example.mli, I declare several large types, in which I want the full contents of the types to be visible to other modules. How do I avoid duplicating those full definitions in example.ml? I've tried using "include Example" at the beginning of example.ml, which ocamlopt has no argument with, but ocamlc gives: Error while linking example.cmo: Reference to undefined global `Example' I can't simply skip the .mli, as there are functions in example.ml that I don't want exported; not to meantion the clean-ness of seperation .mli's provide. Any suggestions? Thanks. -- Jeffrey J.
