   That is surely an old technique, but only really works to 100%   
   if you adhere to some additional style constraints in your code.   
      
   Consider   
      
   foo.f:   
      
         DIMENSION A(10)   
         INCLUDE "common.inc"   
      
   bar.f:   
      
         INCLUDE "common.inc"   
      
   (without the DIMENSION)   
      
   common.inc:   
      
         COMMON /COMMON/ A
