Hi @cesarmarinhorj ! How about something like this (I’ve assumed each module is in a separate script)

In `HR.jl`

```nohighlight
module HR

include("Model.jl")
using .Model # . means look in local scope rather than registry

include("Staff.jl")
using .Staff

end # module

```

In `Model.jl`

```nohighlight
module Model

struct Person
    age::Int
end

end # module

```

In `Staff.jl`

```nohighlight
module Staff

using ..Model # .. means look in scope of parent module

function age(p::Model.Person)
    return p.age
end

end # module

```

Alternatively `Person` could be exported from `Model` and then you could just use `Person` in `Staff`.
