(talking about header files in C++)

I mean.. I *guess* it provides that possibility?
you can do this in java already with an interface though...

but like.. the main reason header files exist is because they come from a time when computers weren't powerful enough to be able to hold everything in memory and do multiple passes during the compilation process. they weren't really added for the *purpose*
