How's about :

superconnection.bmx
Type TSuperConnection Abstract
End Type


connection.bmx
Import "superconnection.bmx"
Import "protocol.bmx"

Type TConnection Extends TSuperConnection

    Field protocol:TProtocol
End Type


protocol.bmx
Import "superconnection.bmx"

Type TProtocol

    Field connection:TSuperConnection
End Type


In TSuperConnection you can set up abstract methods etc if you need protocol to call them.

This way allows you to remove the need for includes, and makes the code modular, and more importantly, you will only be recompiling the code that changes, rather than recompiling *everything* everytime....

Try to remove "include" from your vocabulary ;-)
