When SMP/E links a module into a load module that was defined by link-edit JCL, the link-edit utility INCLUDE statements that are generated depend on whether the load module currently exists in a target library. (Processing is different when the load module is defined with a SYSLIB allocation. For details, see Building load modules with a SYSLIB allocation.)

• If the load module does not exist, an INCLUDE statement is built for each module defined in the link-edit JCLIN as being included in the load module. No INCLUDE statement is built for the load module itself.
• If the load module does exist, an INCLUDE statement is built for each module that is selected from a SYSMOD being processed and that is defined in the link-edit JCLIN as being included in the load module. In addition, an INCLUDE statement is built to include the current version of the load module from the target library. This is done to obtain the other modules that make up the load module.
