Hi In the style-include branch (pre-built jar files available at http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/snapshots/) you can now include files from the same style. The syntax is: include "filename"; You can put this anywhere where you can start a new rule. The contents of the file "filename" are included at that point in the file, just as you would expect. You can (and probably should) put the files in a subdirectory and access it as: include "inc/filename"; A forward slash should be used, even on windows (untested - will fix if it doesn't work). You don't strictly need the quotes around the filename if it is only letters, but its best to always use them since common filename characters such as '.' and '/' will require the quotes anyway. An included file can include another file and this can be arbitrarily nested. The name of the file is always relative to the top of the style and not relative to the location of the file that includes it. So if you have a sub-directory 'inc' with files 'first' and 'second' and 'inc/first' wants to include 'second' then it is written as: include "inc/second"; and not: include "second"; You can't yet include files from other styles, maybe that is not really so useful, what do you think? ..Steve
