# #include ## Description \#include filename This allows you to include the contents of another file (called a "snippet") within your macro, as though the contents were part of the calling macro. You can access the [Subroutines](/macroquest/documentation/subroutines.md) of the included file using /call, just as though they were a part of the original macro. ## Use Traditionally the filename extension .inc is used to indicate that it is an include file, but you may use any extension name that you like. When you are including a file, you must make sure you type the name correctly. Include files are case-insensitive (eg. spells.inc = spellS.inc). ## Example ``` #include spell_routines.inc Sub Main /call Cast "Complete Healing" gem1 /return ``` ## See Also * [Pound\_Commands](/macroquest/commands/macro-commands/macro-directives.md) * [Macro\_Reference](/macroquest/documentation/macro-reference.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
