You have several options here. You can mark the source files (prg,scx,etc.) as "Excluded" in the project and just place them in the directory that contains the EXE. Then you can use the DO command and reference the locate and name of the source file. For example:

DO mymethod IN myfile.prg

Another approach is to create a separate project and build an APP, EXE, or DLL. When the project is built, it will try to include any references to external libraries used. This approach is typically used it these external files could be used without the main EXE. Your external application will be larger in size then just using the source code. The one disadvantage with just including the source code is you are exposing that portion of you application to have other developers modify it.
