In the first section, I can’t read a module with a package option into a worksheet.
In the second section I omit the package option but can’t read a module that contains an $include.
In the next section I type in the module by hand, with a read statement in it. It processes without error, but appears to have been a no-op.

In the final section I read in the function outside of a module and it works.

Error, on line 3, syntax error, reserved word `option` or `options` unexpected:

option package;
^

Error, while reading ``Test0.maple``

Error, on line 5, syntax error, unexpected string:

end module;
^

Error, while reading ``Test1.maple``

The issue is not how to inline, when I want to inline a computed formula, I rarely have trouble with that. The issue really is about separate files.

So, my problem is that I want to create a large package, not as large as plots, but similar to that. The only process I’ve made work, without some issues, is to put all the procedure definitions inside the module definition. The idea of one 30K line file seemed unworkable, but maybe I rejected that approach too quickly.

Is it a fair interpretation of your advice that I embrace the need for one mega-file to build the package, but that I pull in, on the order of, 100 little files as part of the build process? Will read and $include be sufficient for this approach … maybe … I’ll experiment …

The issue is in the context of a module ...

I have attached two examples. The first one works, the second one does not.

I think I understand the problem. It is late binding. The DistWorkSheet procedure does not bind to Sqr in the context of the module, rather it binds at runtime. In the case of a package (or really any module) that is intended to be used by a user in another context this means you can pickup the user definition of this symbol instead of the definition local to the package.

Forgive me if I am a little slow to respond, Maple is a hobby thing at this stage of my life.
