Get variables of a view? im trying to access some variables of my view but i fail terribly:
My modulefile looks like this:

$io= views_get_view('nameofmyview');
dpm($io);


Drupal tells me:


  Fatal error: Call to undefined function views_get_view()


What am i missing?
Thanks @clive for the hint

module_load_include('module','views','views');


does the trick!
