No no no.
NEVER EVER include .C files.
This is a really really bad idea.  


Here's what you should do:

Make function prototypes for you .c files and put them in
corresponding .h files.  Include the .h file from the main.c file.

Let say you have two files.  One called utils.c  the other is called
main.c    main.c uses from of utils.c's functions.


You've got a function utils.c like this

int sum(int a, int b)
  {
  return a+b;
  }

Make the prototype in a header called utils.h

int sum(int a, int b);


Now Make your main.c like this:

#include "utils.h"

int main()
  {
  int n1=1;
  int n2=2;
  int ans;

  ans=sum(n1,n2); 

  return 0;
  }

+hello all,

+I'm developing a small MS-DOS database aplication using DJGPP,

+- fichario.c  (main code)
+- dados.c     (data manipulation code)
+- interface.c (interface code)
+and
+- fichario.h (needed by all above!!!).
+
+In "fichario.c" I have the following initialization:

+#include "fichario.h"
+#include "dados.c"
+#include "interfac.c"
+
+Having split the code in different files I now just can debug 
+step-by-step the code in main file "fichario.c". 
+
+How do I put it all (maybe using a Project) in a way

+
+I thank you masters in advance,
