External Declarattions

Description

In order to avoid using a very cumbersome heirarchy syntax, it might be beneficial if the CDS Framework language had a keyword to make declarations in one policy file available in other policy files. This could be something equivalent to the C language extern statement.

At present multiple policy files will properly compile only if they are compiled in the correct order, which I have been told, is not guaranteed. In addition, while writing multiple files, all definitions must be the file being edited to avoid errors on line completion. However, when the file is saved, the compiler checks all files, and if duplicate entries are found it generates an error.
