Doh... I solved it.

I had "myotherfile.asm" both as an #include from my main file, AND as a
source file in my project.  

When the compiler went to compile the file as a file in my project it did so
without the symbols defined in the first file.

I removed the file as a source file in the project but kept it as an
#include and got the expected behavior. It all makes perfect sense to me
now!
