Type Parameter
Syntax {$I filename}
{$INCLUDE filename}
Scope Local
The $I parameter directive
instructs the compiler to include the named file in the compilation. In effect,
the file is inserted in the compiled text right after the {$I filename} directive.
The default extension for filename is .pas. If filename does not specify a
directory path, then, in addition to searching for the file in the same
directory as the current module, Delphi searches in the directories specified
in the Search path input box on the Directories/Conditionals page of the
Project|Options dialog box (or in the directories specified in a -I option on
the DCC32 command line).
To specify a filename that
includes a space, surround the file name with single quotation marks: {$I
'My file'}.
There is one restriction to the use of include files: An include file can't be specified in the middle of a statement part. In fact, all statements between the begin and end of a statement part must exist in the same source file.
