I don't think anyone is championing the cause for localizing what are in 
effect global variables.  Rather my point was since RAID does not like a 
variable 
like
EQUATE CUST.ADDR TO CUST(10)
no matter where it's defined.  Wouldn't it be better, at least from the 
perspective of a RAID user to use a variable like
EQUATE A.CUST.ADDR TO 10
and then reference the address by
R.CUST(A.CUST.ADDR) = ''
or equally
R.CUST<A.CUST.ADDR> = ''
depending on whether you've created R.CUST as a DIM or DYN array.

That was my point, it has nothing to do with whether these definitions are 
done locally within the mainline program, or as an INCLUDE.
