IMHO this is nonsense. Structured programming has little to do with
separate compilation.

I come from the software side, I can't imagine programming any other
way. Yet I prefer all-at-once compilation (I prefer compilers to using
assembley), so even in C I often use include-style libraries. Jal in all
this is (of course) by design the only way you can construct a program.
