Python • import file not found on path

i'm dipping my toe into the world of user written import files to try and clean up my code to make it more readable. Once a function is working to my liking I plan to move it over to the import file and move on

I wrote this as the "main" program, saved as "Incl.py
and this as the file to be imported, saved as Incl_SSCE.py:

My system path is:

['/home/pi/Python code', '/usr/lib/python39.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.9', '/usr/lib/python3.9/lib-dynload', '/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages', '/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3.9/dist-packages']

and both files are saved to the folder /home/pi/Python Code

the error i get when I run Incl.py is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pi/Python code/Incl.py", line 13, in <module>
a=adder(x,y,z)
NameError: name 'adder' is not defined

Line 13 is the call to the adder function
