I've found that in the latest MPLAB 5.00.00
that if you put the udata sections in SEPERATE
files, the compiler likes it AND the linker
produces the expected results.  The FAE told
me that since most people don't use relocatable
code, the issue is just surfacing.

So I have files called
udata.asm
shared.asm
overlay.asm

These are all seperate modules in the project file.

I found now that in my linker file the SECTION NAME lines 
for RAM were missing. The previous problem is fixed. But now
I have the next question: I want to use udata and udata_ovr in 
one module:

bank0   UDATA
pwm_high  RES 1
pwm_low   RES 1
            GLOBAL pwm_high, pwm_low

bank0   UDATA_OVR
temp      RES 2

The result was:

Command line: "E:\MPLAB\MPASMWIN.EXE /e+ /l+ /x- /c+ /p16C716 /o+ /q
K:\2000\xxx.ASM"
Error[154]   K:\2000\xxx.ASM 16 : Each object file section must be
contiguous (section bank0)

But when I miss the second bank0 the variable temp will be located in
bank1.
