Questions about _include

I have a couple of questions about the _include() function(?).
I have a couple levels of files (like a top-level test file that includes lower-level files containing various functions). I also have a file in which I keep common utilities. Each of the test files may include the utilities file. I'm noticing that if I view the script from the controller that each time the file is included, all of the code is brought in to the script as well. Is there a way that I can somehow wrap the include so that the code is brought in only once? (like the #if-#endif directives in C++)
I also use block comments for large descriptions, or to comment-out chunks of code that I don't want executing. I have noticed that if I have a file with block comments _included into another file, THEN I use a block comment to comment out
that _include statement, that block comment will actually close after the first closing block comment it encounters in the included file. Is there any way around this, or should I just use line-comments only?
Thanks again.

1) Right now there is no way you can do the #if primarily because the _include executes as an inplace expansion in the Sahi parser. I will see if there is some way of checking on the proxy side before including.
2) This is a bug and I think, you will have to live with single line comments in these cases till it gets fixed. Thanks for highlighting.
