Specifying file include directives for an IDL file (IDL code)
You can model file include directives through Dependency relationships, or you can specify the file include directives text to generate in the IDL file.
To model a file include directive through a Dependency:
1. Locate the Bound Module, Component, Interface, Message or Package for which you want to define a file include directive in the generated file.
2. Right-click the item, point to Links, and then click Dictionary Items.
Modeler opens the Links Editor.
3. In the Types list, select Dependees.
4. Select the check box associated with the Bound Module, Component, Interface, Message or Package whose generated IDL file is going to be referenced by the file include directive.
5. Click OK.
To specify file include directives text (bound modules, packages and components only):
1. If you have not done so already, add the IDL Profile package to your Model. How?
2. Apply the «Source» stereotype from the IDL Profile to the Bound Module, Component or Package for which you want to specify the file include directives text.
3. Open the item's Property Pages, and then click the Source tab.
4. Set the value of the includes tag definition to the text you want to generate.
