Module types (with support for multiple inheritance, even) are provided in
Modula-90, an experimental ETH extension of Modula-2.  Two papers were
presented (by Beat Heeb and Martin Odersky) at the "1st International
Modula-2 Conference" in Yugoslavia, October 1989.  Odersky is now doing
research for IBM on functional languages but I think Heeb is there still.

The undersigned is working on another paper on module types, exploring
the posibility of introducing them in when the ISO standard for Modula-2
is revised.
