Even under these circumstances a *SRVPGM <may> provide a solution.

Multiple versions of the same procedure can co-exist in a single 
*SRVPGM, (provided the names are unique). The flexibility of Signatures 
and the Export Symbol Table.

100% agree that *SRVPGMs are the better option; /COPY and /INCLUDE 
should - in the main - be used only for Prototype inclusion, (with /IF, 
/DEFINE, etc. as required).
