Hi,

If I understand your question correctly, no.

However, there may be workarounds.  For example, if you have QEDIT
(from Robelle ... www.robelle.com), you could do:

   run qedit.pub.robelle
   text A.JOB              (i.e. "JOB A")

   c "USE "$include "@

   list $i "foo"

this will search through the A job file for "foo", and will
look inside all files that were referenced in "USE " commands
(providing the "USE " started in column 1).  This works because
QEDIT recognizes Pascal/C/SPL "include" commands, and the "$i" option
to the QEDIT search/list command says "hey, if you encounter any
$include lines, search those files too!"
