So my understanding is IDL interpreter itself can not sense the change
and re-compile the necessary procedure throughout the flow of the
program. Every time I make a modification on the source-code I have to
re-compile the routine on the console or command shell to reflect this
change.

Once again, in the same IDL session, when I first launch the program
168 routines are compiled, after I make an addition the source code of
one file, and re-run the program all 168 routines are re-compiled
again. This is controversial to Reimer Bauer's yes answer.
