They're executable statements, so they need to be in a function (or
global). And you can't put them in the constructor as Henrik indicated
or you would be including them in the constructor itself.

But if they're members of the class, I would suggest you just keep them
all in one file. That's what I do. After all - you're going to include
them anyway. Better to include from one file than 10.
