Couldn't you just include accounts.beancount in main.beancount before banking.beancount and income.beancount? That's what I do. My main.bean (simplified) is: ; global stuff include "commodities.bean" include "accounts.bean" include "prices.bean" ; individual account history include "data/amazon_david.bean" include "data/amazon_karen.bean" include "data/amex_david.bean" include "data/amex_karen.bean" (many more individual account includes...) ... And then I don't have any other include statements in the account-specific bean files. Or does that not address your problem? Checking the main ledger would work, but unfortunately editor plugins would highlight errors in the individual account histories. I find these inline errors a nice time saver when reconciling imports.

I noticed because I was trying to organize my ledger something like this: [image: ledger_deps.png] And got the error. I want each of banking.beancount and income.beancount to include accounts.beancount because my editor plugin will give me errors if I don't (since the accounts aren't defined). Looks like this functionality has been around just about as long as the include directive (commit <https://github.com/beancount/beancount/commit/1ad7017ca8bba9af7e13ed6613c28f14126b0ea7>), and I couldn't find any docs on why this would be an error. When I remove the error, the loading logic seems to work fine. Any chance I could mail a PR to remove this error? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
