Not defined when? During the compile of the module or during the  
creation of the service program?

Yes.

Just as you would for any other copy members. One copy member per  
service program containing prototypes and data definitions for the  
public interface. This particular topic has been beaten to death  
previously so see the archives for details.

Yes.

Ensure you bind to the required service programs either by naming them  
on the BNDSRVPGM keyword or by specifying a BNDDIR that lists them
