Thanks for the response.

I have went through the post you wrote, but still I don’t get this from a user experience point:

If I’m a maintainer of the repo I do understand that src/A.jl is included in main namespace and I can define my parameters without an explicit import.

But for the first time viewer don’t you think this would be a nightmare to understand that **AbstractA** is a part of main namespace.

Since AbstractA was declared before A.jl got included, you can use it: # src/A.jl function my\_func(a::AbstractA) # do something end the same goes for src/B.jl (you don’t need another module): # src/B.jl function my\_other\_func…
