I try to use the file below for all my supporting code libraries or includes.

I use a simple format for all my functions call DMR. Data (declare your variables), Manipulate (manipulate your data), Return (the output of the function). As simple and obvious as it seems, it took me a while before I came up with this template. It has helped me to be a more disciplined and effective programmer.

This template also includes a testbed, a little space where you do quick-and-dirty test of your functions.
