I will have to be careful in naming controls such that it does not conflict with include file. But meantime, is it possible to tell the compiler (in a certain place in the code) that such as such "string" should not be preprocessed?

Thank you. I agree that I better be careful how I name my controls or what constants I use. But I just needed a temporary fix for now and you and Sergey's suggestion should work.
