%% Import the package
\RequirePackage{totcount}
%%
%%  Comment out the following line to use the previously stored total counts in
%%  'mycount.aux' (make sure it exists!) instead of computing them again:
\def\computemycount{}
\expandafter\ifx\csname computemycount\endcsname\relax
  \usetotcountfile{mycount.aux}
  \newcounter{mycount} % so that increments of this counter don't break
\else
  \newtotcounter[auxfile=mycount.aux]{mycount}
\fi
%%
%% Register the section and page counters as a total counters:
\regtotcounter{section}
\regtotcounter{page}

\begin{document}
%%
%% A total counter can be declared/registered anywhere:
\newtotcounter{yourcount}

\section{Total Counts}
%%
%% Increment counters as usual:
\addtocounter{mycount}{5}
\addtocounter{yourcount}{5}
%%
%% Print the value of a total counter by using |\total|:
The total value of the counter {\tt mycount} is \total{mycount} (should
be 10), and the total value of the counter {\tt yourcount} is
\total{yourcount} (should be 17).

%%
%% Get the numeric value of a total counter by using |\totvalue|:
This document has \total{section}
\ifnum\totvalue{section}=1 section \else sections \fi
and \total{page}
\ifnum\totvalue{page}=1 page. \else pages. \fi

%%
%% The effect of incrementing the counters will be visible the second
%% time LaTeX runs:
\addtocounter{yourcount}{5}
\addtocounter{mycount}{5}
\addtocounter{yourcount}{7}

\section{A Section}
\section{Another Section}
\section{Yet Another Section}
