Hi Martin,

can you post a tiny example?  You should be able to export symbols
from nested modules and it should be possible to import another
modules symbols and then export those as well.  But example code is
probably required..

Have a look at the ISO library definition modules which frequently
import enums from other definition modules and then export these
imported enums again (SeqFile does something similar with sets and
constants)
