Can I import a tsl file into another tsl file?

Can I import a tsl file into another tsl file? I notice there is a include keyword. I want to define data models in different tsl files, and import in when i need it

Hey @BenDerPan I use the include keyword to facilitate modularity and separation of concerns during the TSL data modeling phase; if your TSL file gets very large I use the include keyword as a divide and conquer strategy. If you are look at the JIT TSL file inclusion, then you are talking about Schema Expansion/Evolution and you can do that using the GE Storage Composition API; I've been using it for a few months now.

@TaviTruman Hi, I can't find Modules/GraphEngine.Jit now, my situation is :

1. I defined something in a.tsl, for example: struct A{};
2. Now I want to use struct A in b.tsl, how can I import struct A into b.tsl;
   thanks!

@BenDerPan I think my use of jargon gave you the wrong impression; in my previous post I mention "JIT TSL"; this is said to mean "Just In Time TSL" file inclusion and not compile time. There is no GraphEngine.Jit project.

The TSL "include" keywords is purposed to facilitate compile time inclusion of other external TSL language productions outside of the immediate file where the "include" keyword is used.

See: https://www.graphengine.io/docs/manual/TSL/tsl-basics.html

here's an example:

1st TSL file: StructA.tsl

enum StartUpCommandWords
{
StartUp,
Shutdown,
Restart,
Resume
}

struct APIStartUpParams
{
DateTime activeDateTime;
Guid trasnactionKey;
List commandKeyWords;
}

cell MyCell
{
APIStartUpParams ServerParameters;
List ServerMetadataInfoSets;
}

2nd TSL file: StructB.tsl

TrinitySettings
{
RootNamespace: sample.tslexample.foryou;
}

include StructA.tsl;

struct StructMixIn
{
APIStartUpParams ServerCommandData;
long StartUpId;
sbyte ServerVersikonCode;
}

cell struct NodeHeader
{
ListlistOfObjects;
}

@TaviTruman sorry, I misunderstood, I thought GraphEngine.JIT is an implementation of Java, I search JIT in issues, and got this:

thank you for your great help. :)
