There are three possibilities: 1. Separate interface bodies don't automatically have host association. If you want it, you have to put in an IMPORT statement. This is a bit bizarre, given that the procedure whose interface it declares might well be in the same scoping unit, and would have host association. 2. Separate interface bodies do automatically have host association, and use of an IMPORT statement in one is forbidden. 3. Separate interface bodies do automatically have host association, and use of an IMPORT statement in one is allowed, in which case we have to say what it means. It's not obvious the same rules should apply. Do you have an opinion? -- Van Snyder | What fraction of Americans believe Van.Snyder@jpl.nasa.gov | Wrestling is real and NASA is fake?
