Error #6406 Conflicting attributes or multiple declaration of name

[lauale]

I have to modify an old Fortran code. I should move some code to a subroutine. This old code use lot of variables (most of them declared through common blocks in different include files). The subroutine that I create includes some of these include files as follows:

      subroutine HeatRadiation
* Include files where some variables are defined
      include 'BLCONT.INS'		   ! declaration TEND, TK
      include 'PRINT_OP.INS'	               ! declaration print_zusaetz_erg
      include 'ZWEIZUG.INS'        	   ! declaration zweizug_vorhanden, zweizug_hzfl_name, FAK_C1, FAK_C2
      include 'params.ins'         	 ! declaration vble max_rg_abschn_2zug, N_AB, MX_ZG
RETURN
END

In this subroutine is only calculated some variables which will be printed in a table, for that reason I need this declared variables calculated in other subroutines.
When I compile with intel Parallel Studio XE 2011 and Visual Studio 2010 I become following compilation errors:

error #6406: Conflicting attributes or multiple declaration of name. [N_AB]

error #6219: A specification expression object must be a dummy argument, a COMMON block object, or an object accessible through host or use association [MX_ZG]

Could someone please help me to fix these errors? Many thanks

1) Can you post the content of params.ins
2) Do you have a common block that has the same name as a variable?
