To elaborate, since the second file "inc" is not passed to the compiler, 
it will not compile that file, therefore you get linker errors. The 
solution is to pass all extra files before the -run flag.

Even better is to use "rdmd" which will automatically track and compile 
dependencies. Using rdmd it's enough to pass a single file to compile 
all dependencies and run the resulting binary: "rdmd mod".

Dub is a great tool when a project grows larger than a few files.
