A) Do you have problem? Have you tried it?

B) There is a mailing list for this sort of question... read the Posting Guide.

C) What is a constant? In R, it is just another variable. The purpose of packages is to collect variables in namespaces in memory for easy access. Which means that "include" is not necessary.
