Yes, the application will be self-compiling if you make sure the procedures
and functions are in the file in the reverse order of which they are
called. For instance, the main procedure or function should be the
last in the file, any procedures/functions called from this level
should be before the main and so on.

There was a package written awhile ago called "idltags" by Andrew T. Shapiro at
the University of Colorado. Unfortunately, I don't know where I originally got
it from or where it might be available.
I also made some slight modifications to it and e-mailed the author about it,
but he never replied.
Basically it does several things, including indexing your pro files, and
creating a dependency list, and from there, creates an IDL script to compile
all the files into one module.
I've put the copy I have, in addition to a new copy with my changes at
ftp://www.ocs.colorado.edu/pub/idltags.tar.gz
ftp://www.ocs.colorado.edu/pub/idltags-A.tar.gz

Yes, just put them into a single file.
The only trick is to get IDL to compile all the procedures in that file.
There are 2 approaches to this:
- If the package has a single "user-callable" procedure or function
(as opposed to "private" procedures), or at least a single procedure or
function which is always called first, then do the following:
(Assume that procedure or function is called MY_PROGRAM)
- Name the file MY_PROGRAM.PRO
- Put procedure or function MY_PROGRAM as the last one in the file.
If you do this then the first time MY_PROGRAM is called, IDL will find file
MY_PROGRAM.PRO and compile all procedures and functions in that file until it
finds the one called MY_PROGRAM.
- If the file has more than one "user-callable" entry point, then put the
following line in your IDL_STARTUP procedure:
- .RUN MY_PROGRAM
