Hi Steve,
this why I mean it's untestet .. I Even didnot know that something like VERSION(5) worked in the #IF statements until this thread.

What I do until now ist to use the the Projecthook to build a little include file. This defines constants with the values I need. I put this include infront of all of my include files (They could be nested). Now I can use the constants.
