A couple of years ago (around April 2009), I did an ooRexx project with multiple files (containing classes and routines) in three directories. I set up a single file with most of the ::requires statements in it, and called it at the start of the program. This worked.
I tried re-running the program the other day, and it didn't work (couldn't find classes/routines). I conclude that the behavior of "::requires" has changed since early-to-mid 2009. Is this the case?

Each file identifies which other files are required using the ::REQUIRES directives. Each file only has visibility to those other files that it identifies as needing. Since each element identifies only the bits it needs, it avoids potential naming conflicts with other files that might be in use.
