From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

I've changed `:buildSrc` to included build, but I can't reference my constants in submodules now. What am I missing? Code in :thread:

structure:
```app/build.gradle.kts
build-logic/build.gradle.kts
build-logic/src/main/kotlin/Versions.kt
settings.gradle.kts```
app/build.gradle.kts:
```plugins {
    alias(libs.plugins.kotlin.android)
    alias(libs.plugins.android.application)
}

android {
    val java = Versions.java &lt;-- Unresolved reference
    compileOptions {
        targetCompatibility = java
        sourceCompatibility = java
    }
    // ...
}```
Versions.kt
```object Versions {
    val java = JavaVersion.VERSION_17
}```
settings.gradle.kts:
```rootProject.name = "My project"

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        gradlePluginPortal()
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

include(":app")
includeBuild("build-logic")```

As I said in the other thread.

`buildSrc` classes and dependencies are always available in all buildscripts as they are added to a parent classloader which has its pros but mostly cons.

Things from an included build are only built and added to the classpath if you actually use them. That is either declare a buildscript dependency on them or applying a plugin coming from them which is why your `Versions` class is not available currently.

But using a `Versions` class like that is bad practice anyway due to various reasons. Better use the version catalog feature, especially with a TOML file.
