I use a main program main.pro that includes many other programs and
functions.
Each time i recompile amin.pro i have to compile all included routines
seperately...
Functions are compiled automatically with the command FORWARD_FUNCTION
but that doesnt work with routines...
How can i compile everything at once with .r main.pro ?

The way that you compile in IDL is ultimately about personal
preference and coding style. Things like 'resolve_all' will pick up
most things, but will miss objects and functions called using execute/
call_procedure/call_function
You can simply run your program and pray that you covered every line
of code. Resolve all and then save, /ROUTINE.
A project is toublesome if you are importing a large amount of
external code. I have had difficulties when I wanted to 'merge' or
update an external project. Particularly when there are more than
just .pro files.
My personal favourite is to compile all .pro files within a given
pathspec. After all, this is the same method that IDL uses to locate
routines. Why not use it to compile them as well? I prefer this method
because I can incorporate it into my WIX (Windows Installer XML) build
scripts.

Example usage:
nmacomplile, 'itools.sav',['lib/itools','lib/igamma.pro'], ROOT_DIR=!
DIR
pro nmacompile, target, source, ROOT_DIR=root_dir,
ITRESOLVE=itresolve, NO_SAVE=no_save
if (keyword_set(itresolve)) then ITRESOLVE
ThisRoutine = Routine_Info('nmacompile', /Source)
if (n_elements(root_dir) eq 0) then $
root_dir = FILE_DIRNAME(FILE_DIRNAME(FILE_DIRNAME(ThisRoutine.path)))
for i=0,n_elements(source)-1 do begin
path = FILEPATH(source[i],ROOT_DIR=root_dir)
if (file_test(path,/DIRECTORY)) then $
programs = FILE_BASENAME(FILE_SEARCH(path, "*.pro"),'.pro') $
else $
programs = FILE_BASENAME(path,'.pro')
help, CALLS=calls
for j=0,n_elements(calls)-1 do calls[j] = (strsplit(calls[j], ' ',/
EXTRACT))[0]
for j=0,n_elements(programs) -1 do begin
inds = where(strupcase(programs[j]) eq calls,count)
if (count gt 0) then continue
catch, errorvalue
if (errorvalue ne 0) then begin
catch, /CANCEL
endif else begin
RESOLVE_ROUTINE, programs[j], /EITHER
endelse
catch, /cancel
endfor
endfor
RESOLVE_ALL, /CONTINUE_ON_ERROR
catch, /cancel
if (~ keyword_set(no_save)) then $
save, FILENAME=target, /ROUTINES
end

Use IDL's Projects!
For years I would remove the the Project Window on the left side of
IDLDE by unchecking the Preference -> Project. My style of programming
was to place all the PRO and FUNCTION routines in the same file,
making sure FUNCTION routines were at the top. Or use the Preference -
> Path to insert the path of my code.
However, recently, I started inheriting IDL code in my department
that was written by other people that have left or are still around. I
needed a way to manage all these snippets of code. I learn to use the
IDLDE Project. Whenever, I start a new IDL application or given new
code, I'll create an IDL Project.
IDL Project allow you to add and remove IDL files, have quick access
to the routines if changes are require, search through all the files
(helpful for debugging), and compiles all the routines with a click of
the button.
All in all, IDL projects has made me an efficient application
developer.

make sure your program files have the correct name, and are stored in
a location where IDL can find them. See http://www.dfanning.com/tips/namefiles.html
