Lisp importing/loading file

Question

Is there a way in Lisp to include code from other Lisp files?

For example, in C++ I can do this:

#include 
#include 
#inclu         


        

Answer 1

Use standard functions like LOAD and COMPILE-FILE.

ANSI Common Lisp also has a function REQUIRE.

If you use as 'system' maintenance tool as an extension to Common Lisp, then you can also load or compile a whole 'system'. A 'system' is a collection of files and subsystems for which operations like load and compile are defined.
