If your application consists of a set of AutoLISP files loaded in parallel, it is recommended that you use the Visual LISP integrated project management facilities to compile your files. The project manager automatically recompiles files that have changed, allows you to find code segments without knowing which files contain them, and optimizes the use of function calls and local variables in the compiled files.
