Not sure if this is good practice, but in v0.6 I used `module` to create a scoping level so that a group of related included code wouldn’t have name conflicts with anything else I was writing. Specifically:

```julia
module m
    include("foo.jl")
    include("bar.jl")
end
import m

function biff(a)
  # blah blah
  x = m.foo(a);
  y = m.bar(x);
  # etc.
end

```

When I try this in Julia v0.7 (say, storing the above in `biff.jl`), I get an error message and the subsequent function (`biff`) is not parsed or compiled:

```
julia> include("biff.jl")
ArgumentError: Package m not found in current path:
- Run `Pkg.add("m")` to install the m package.

```

Please advise.
