Can you explain what you mean, and perhaps use periods after your sentences?

Well, considering I am in a good mood, I will first direct you to these links. DM Guide,DM Reference,Tutorials,Demos, and Libraries. Using those links you could probally answer 95 % of the questions you will probally ask in your new coding experiences.

Now to answer your question, simple include it in your environment, or folder I should say. Then make a turf,obj,mob, or area for it, and define its icon and/or icon_state.

/*
    Notice the several ways you can accomplish the following.
    Also notice my use of (')'s and (")'s. "'s go around icon_states as
    (')'s go around icon files.
*/

turf //Define a turf
    grass
        icon = 'grass.dmi' //Define default /turf/grass icon to grass.dmi.
        dark
            icon_state = "dark"  //Define icon_state to "dark" of /turf/grass/dark
        light
            icon_state = "dark"  //Define icon_state to "light" of /turf/grass/light
    dirt                       
         New()                  //Lets say you want to randomly pick an icon and icon_state
            ..()                 //at runtime.
            src.icon = pick('dirt.dmi','icons/dirt2.dmi') //Using the pick proc, choose between
                                                          //dirt.dmi and dirt2.dmi in the subfol-
                                                          //der icons.
            icon_state = pick("1","2","3")                //Again using the pick proc, randomly
                                                          //choose from the icon_states "1","2"
                                                          //and "3".
obj //Define an obj, or object
    tree
        icon = 'icons/tree.dmi'  //Define default /obj/tree icon to tree.dmi located in the
        big                      //subfolder icons.
            icon_state = "big" //Define the icon state of /turf/tree/big.
        small
            icon_state = "small" //Define the icon state of /turf/tree/big.
mob //Define a mob, or mobile
    Dan
        icon = 'icons/mobs/Dan.dmi' //Define default of mob/Dan to Dan.dmi located in the
        icon_state = "old"          //sub-subfolder icons/mobs.
        olddan
        youngdan
            icon_state = "young" //Define the icon state of /mob/Dan/youngdan
    Tom
        icon = 'Tom.dmi'        //Define Tom.dmi as the icon for /mob/Tom.
area //Define an area
    noWalk
        icon = 'areas/noWalk.dmi'      //Define noWalk.dmi in the subfolder areas
    Jail                              //to be the icon of /area/noWalk.
        icon = 'Jail.dmi'        //Define Jail.dmi to be the icon of /area/Jail.
        icon_state = "Jail_Area" //Define the icon state of /area/Jail.

   Hope I helped quite a bit, if you have any questions please do ask.
   I am assuming you know how to put them on the map, if not ask on that too.

Again, hope I was helpful. Post your questions.
