Simulation/Testbench files in Quartus-II

Hi All, In Quartus-II, how the tool distinguish between the RTL (design) and Simulation files? How should I add the Simulation/Testbench files to Quartus-II project? How should I mark them...

Quartus is not a simulation tool. You should only include RTL design files.

Simulation files should only be included in a simulation tool (like modelsim)

I also use Quartus as my editor and for quick access to testbences I also include these in my project. I never had problems with that. I even have some tcl scripts in there. I am not saying itis good practice, only that it doesn't cause problems for me if I do.
