Sounds good to me (a lot easier to implement). But at the end of section
14 of the Report on The Programming Language Modula-2 in Wirth's book, he
says

	If circular references occur among modules, their order of
	initialization is not defined.

Which implies this circular nature does exist. Well, I guess I'll just
leave this feature out until there is a definte need shown for it.

Thanks for the help.
