Question

Hi,

In a sequence diagram, should I not include the same file repeatedly?

Alice has replied four times. But why does Bob hear only twice?

• Bob.sd.txt

@startuml

Bob -> Alice : Where are you? 1
Alice -> Bob : I'm here!

Bob -> Alice : Where are you? 2
!include Alice.replyToBob.sd.txt

Bob -> Alice : Where are you? 3
!include Alice.replyToBob.sd.txt

Bob -> Alice : Where are you? 4
!include Alice.replyToBob.sd.txt

@enduml

• Alice.replyToBob.sd.txt

Alice -> Bob : I'm here!

• Result

Thank you.

There is an internal safe guard to include file only once. You can use !include_many if you want to include a file several times.

Does it fix your need ?
