Can an include file call a function from another include file?

Question

I am new to working with jsp.
The scenario is that all of the jsp pages will always have include file A. Some of these pages will need to call functions from include file B. My question is, can I call a function from include file A from functions inside include file B?

Wikipedia says:

It is as if the contents of the included file were pasted directly into the original file.

This makes me think that this is allowed although I am not sure if this is a good practice or not.

Answer 1

Yes, you can absolutely call a function in include file A from include file B.

You may wish to consider using EL/JSTL rather than scriptlets.
