The <b>BOOST_PP_INCLUDE_SELF</b> macro includes a file indirectly.
</div>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<div class="code">
#include <b>BOOST_PP_INCLUDE_SELF</b>()
</div>
<h4>Arguments</h4>
<dl>
<dt>filename</dt>
<dd>
A quoted or angle-bracketed filename to be included by <b>BOOST_PP_INCLUDE_SELF</b>.
</dd>
</dl>
<h4>Remarks</h4>
<div>
<b>BOOST_PP_INDIRECT_SELF</b> must be defined prior to using this macro.
</div>
<div>
Most preprocessors will not allow a file to directly include itself--even when the file protects itself from such a scenario.&nbsp;
This macro, in combination with <b>BOOST_PP_INDIRECT_SELF</b> allows a file to include itself indirectly.
</div>
<div>
While <b>BOOST_PP_INDIRECT_SELF</b> is being included, <b>BOOST_PP_INCLUDE_SELF</b> defines the macro <b>BOOST_PP_IS_SELFISH</b> to <i>1</i>.&nbsp;
When it returns from the inclusion, <b>BOOST_PP_IS_SELFISH</b> is undefined.
