Indeed, this makes sense. You cannot include mpif.h and USE an mpi module in the same program unit, so these are the things that are mutually exclusive.   Because the current Fortran standard includes (almost all of) the features in previous standards, trying to identify differences based on old standard names is much less precise.

Cheers,
