.include

lines (usually done using

code*.sym

symbols in xschem) can be placed at lower level hierarchies (thus not only in the testbench). Adding a '`only_toplevel=true`' in these code blocks the content will be dumped to netlist only if netlisting the schematic as a toplevel. If netlisting a testbench instantiating a symbol of the schematic containing said code block this will be totally skipped if '`only_toplevel=true`' attribute is present. Another useful switch is in

Simulation->LVS netlist: top level is a subckt

. This will wrap the top level schematic in a .subckt ... .ends declaration. Some LVS tools need that.
