Includes nested too deeply

Hi all -

I am trying to write my own library of functions, in this case to
process NCEP reanalysis.
I modeled the library after other libraries, eg /usr/local/lib/ncarg/
nclex/gsun/gsn_code.ncl
and Dennis Shea's /usr/local/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl

When I try to load my library, I find an error I find no reference
to: "Includes nested too deeply"
However, my library is not nested any more deeply than these example
libraries, as shown
by this attempt (below) to load the function interactively. Note: I
am certain the file is where I said it is,
and the error does not change if my library is loaded from the local
directory.
