You should certainly be able to export imports directly.  For instance
if you wanted to make a new InOut module, with some of the procedures
being different, you shouldn't have to rewrite all of them (even if you're
only calling the old ones).  Forcing the module that uses NewInOut to
also export some routines from InOut would be inconvenient, and it would
not sufficiently abstract the lower level module.  

I hope all compilers support this...
