Two files with same name in different libraries

Given two files of the same name in different libraries:

  • Documents/Arduino/libraries/lib1/classA.h
  • Documents/Arduino/libraries/lib2/classA.h
    Is there a way for Arduino IDE to include both files in a sketch?

No. If you worked for me, I'd kick your ass out the door for even trying.

Hi PaulS.

Thank you for the swift and unambiguous response :smiley:

It could happen that two independent Aduino libraries have two files with identical names.
Then I guess there is no way to qualify the paths.

And when it does, all kinds of weird issues arise. That's why i pick on everyone that tries to define a "new" Button library.

He does raise an interesting point. If you include two libraries, it's not your fault if they both use the same name for some internal .h file.
