Ah. Now I see what you mean. Then the solution would be or use classes, or
make functions and variables different includes (since they are anyway
different in the function context - former are global and later are not).

I'm not sure that being allowed to use a language in a buggy way is a
right thing to do... This would hide many "double include" errors, and
would *not* restore the backwards compatibility - since code that didn't
work then would work now with your patch.
