Use objects when the names in the script look something like this:
Bla_foo: ; Rebol value here.
Bla_bar: ; Rebol value here.
Bla_thing: ; Rebol value here.
Turn the above into:
Bla: make object! [
foo: ; Rebol value here.
bar: ; Rebol value here.
thing: ; Rebol value here.
]
Why? An object keeps things together that work together and makes it
obvious.
> 3) call various scripts or code everything in one file...
Or the third option, put one's common functions into files of their own
making a library of files/script/values, then assemble them
automatically into a larger script/file for distribution.
Why? Minimises redundancy, and there's only source. If a mistake is
found in a library file, one only needs to correct it one place, then
reassemble any distributions that rely on that script/library (or even
just re-assemble them all if not lazy).
Just my opinion.
