Sorry for being so terse. There are 7 of us all told and two of us use

option 14 which means that I need to keep my source exactly compatible
with their habits.
First I should say that I'm not actually a COMPILE user yet, mainly due
to the same reason as you. It just occurred to me that because the
COMPILE commands are just comments, it shouldn't be a problem for me to
start using it if no one else does. Can a COMPILE user confirm this?

I believe that Alan recently added a feature to allow the COMPILE
'script' in a source member to specify which objects that member depends
on. IIRC, the command is CHECKOBJ or something like that. So if I
followed the documentation correctly, in your LF case you would put
something along these lines in your source member:
// CHECKOBJ *LIBL/LOGICAL1
// CHECKOBJ *LIBL/LOGICAL2
// CRTRPGMOD *LIBL/MODULE
Here is what the COMPILE readme says about CHKOBJECT
Example:
Create a service program. Check to make sure module exists before binding

*_> TEXT('Integrated File System-Common Functions.') +
*_> ACTGRP(QILE) BNDDIR(QC2LE)

I hope that is useful, even if it is only conjecture.
