[Ferm] How to do things without global variables

[Kiss Gabor (Bitman)]

Hi Marc,

I don't understand exactly what you mean.

> @def $client_networks=($client_networks 10.1.104.0/24);

> @def $client_networks=($client_networks 10.1.108.0/24);

> (file client-networks)
> saddr $client_networks subchain {

1. How these files are related each to other and to ferm.conf?
I cant see any @include directive.

2. Man page writes:
Include files are special - variables declared in an included file are
still available in the calling block. This is useful when you include a
file which only declares variables.

Do you use @include at all?
