I'd like to create name spaces to organize some methods and functions.

Any idea how I would go about doing that?

Put them in a module. Modules are the only namespaces that BlitzMax understands.

Isn't there a way to fake it?

Like putting some sort of array within a type?

I thought I saw something like that somewhere...

You can put globals and constants in types, but I don't think I'd recommend it.

I put them in types all the time, but they won't show up in the debugger :(. They are usually only used for type specific things. For example, a global TList for all my my TApples will be stored in its type.

I do this all the time... never had a problem.

If the global or constant belongs to the types you SHOULD put it in the type.

I heard BlitzMax has trouble with nesting functions and types into functions, although it is possible (iirc Leadwerks said that). Has this been/is this true?
