Include def functions across config files

[jamesbaye]

How to share a def function between config files? Currently I'm having to copy paste the function in every file:

nextflow.config

includeConfig 'mydefs.config'
includeConfig 'module1.config'

mydefs.config

def foo() {
    'Hello world'
}

module1.config

foo()

Returns:

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: nextflow.script.ScriptBinding.foo()

This also fails (same error):
module1.config

includeConfig 'mydefs.config'
foo()
