# Imports

## Module System

| Mnemonic | Syntax | Description |
|----------|--------|-------------|
| **INCLUDE** | `alias[:] "path"` | Include module symbols |

## Import Precedence

**Notes:**
- The order of imports may affect the order in which dependencies are placed into the output binary.
- Circular dependencies are allowed and fully supported.
- The module name is caller-defined and can be used to create aliases for libraries within the scope of the calling file. This makes namespacing easy.

**Examples:**
```dsa
include print "./lib/print.dsa"
include maths "./lib/maths.dsa"
```

## External Symbol Access Convention

External symbols are accessed using the `::` operator.

**Examples:**

```dsa
include print "./lib/print.dsa"

init:
    // ensure we have a stack setup so we can call functions properly

db string: "Hello world!"

start:
    // load the address of the string into rg1.
    lwi string, rg1
    // push the string address argument
    push rg1
    // call the print function
    call print::print
    // clean up the stack
    pop zero
    hlt
```
