Another "dirty trick" you can do is to have a dummy file in your app/exe that is excluded that has all your "declarations" in it:


*DUMMY.PRG
FUNCTION myFunc
PARAMETER one,two

FUNCTION Number2

etc...


Be sure to manually add this file to your project and then be sure it is marked as excluded when you build.
