How to create sub-mqh files from a main mqh file?

Hi coder, kindly check my attachments for better understanding that what I would like to achieve, thanks in ahead.

I have a mqh file with too much of variables / formulas inside making up of a few thousands of lines, it is hard to scroll and search the target variables for troubleshooting purposes. Now, I would like to create sub-mqh files for easy cross-referencing and troubleshooting but I don't know what are the codes that should I write into the main and sub-mqh files in order to achieve my purposes.

Could you please download my Main.mqh and create another two sub-mqh files for me :-
1) HighLow.mqh
2) ATR.mqh

so that I can understand what are the additional codes inside the Main.mqh, HighLow.mqh and ATR.mqh.

Thank you.

You have already drawn how the structure would look like: Move one set of variables to one file, the other set to another, and the "main" function to a third file. Than you first include the two variable sets and then the main (or do an "include" of the two variable sets files in the "main" file). In general: When codes depend on other codes, latter codes must be included before former.

Hi Rockit, could you please do me a favour to modify the Main.mqh and create HighLow.mqh and ATR.mqh for me (upload into your next post) ? I have no idea how to link up the 2 sub-mqh files into the Main mqh file, appreciated. My main concerns are :-

Inserted Code
int Main(string symbol) {
 
high/low variables
 
ATR variables
 
  }

The two sets of high/low and ATR variables are inside the block of "int Main(string symbol)" and how to call the external HighLow.mqh and ATR.mqh into the Main.mqh block and what kind of additional instruction codes needed to make the whole system working ? Thanks

Btw, your file is not a valid code.
Here (files need to be in same folder as main program):

Thank you so much Rockit. Yes, it is working after compiled, no error and no warning, hopefully my EA can run eventually.

Yes, my file is not a valid code because there are many many many more variables / formulas that linking to each other.
