Opening .sage files within other files

Hi,

I'm trying to create a project in Sage and ultimately want to run all my .sage files to get things going. So I want to have one run.sage file which I can load from the Sage command line:

load /SAGE_ROOT/Project/run.sage.

This works beautifully if I have all my functions and classes defined in this one file. Ideally I want to have this one file open all my other files so that I can be more modular in my coding.

But this load command doesn't work when it's within a file. Why? I have tried sage_eval and eval.... but it's not working. It tells me it does not recognize the path or something....

Any tips?

Thanks.

I've not tried such a thing, but you might look at this post for some ideas: http://ask.sagemath.org/question/418/how-to-organize-multifile-project

You probably don't specify paths to your files right. Here is a simple test showing that one can perfectly use load within another loaded file:

nash:tmp dima$ cat a.sage 
a = 2

nash:tmp dima$ cat b.sage 
load a.sage
nash:tmp dima$ sage 
---------------------------------------------

| Type "notebook()" for the browser-based notebook interface.        |
| Type "help()" for help.                                            |

sage: load b.sage
sage: a
2

yes that's perfect. I'm speaking about the load command within the file though. For example, in "a.sage" above, put the command load b.sage. Then have a file called "b.sage" with b=2.
