Import of ".h" file for extern functions results in duplicate definitions

[GWRon]

When importing a file which imports an ".h" file to define external function, this results in duplicate definitions:
test.bmx

SuperStrict
Framework brl.standardio

Import "ext.bmx"

print test()
print "Done."

ext.bmx:

SuperStrict 
Import "external.h"

Extern 
	Function test:Int() = "int test()"
EndExtern

external.h:

#include <stddef.h>
#ifndef EXTERNAL_H
#define EXTERNAL_H

int test() { return 1; }
#endif

outputs:

./bmk makeapp -g x64 -t console -a -r -x "/bmx_tests/imports/test.bmx" (in directory: /BlitzMaxNG/bin)

Renaming the external to "external.c" (and importing this instead) results in

1
Done.

Only "visible" difference I saw is when doing that import "external.h": this leads to gcc "-I"-ing the project folder

You don't need to import a header.

You can just do this

SuperStrict 

Extern 
	Function test:Int()
EndExtern

I see what you are trying to do.
We don't support header only imports like that.

You'll need to create a .c file or something, and include your header there.

We can update the "Interfacing with C" section of the docs to note that you can't import headers in this way and expect to use them like that.
