I've been getting annoyed with this lately...

a imports b, which imports c, but a still can't access anything in c...

Anybody else notice this?

I'm using dmd 1.0

imports are private by default, i.e. they don't propogate.
use public imports, i.e. in b, say:
public import c;
this way, any module that imports b automatically imports c.

Actually I was just about to post about this, as my Bovis project has several
uses of 
public imports...  For some unknown reason, DMD/1.00 is not honoring public
imports. 
Given Trevor's case: a imports b, which /publicly/ imports c, but a cannot see
c.

It doesn't seem to /always/ happen though, and I've yet to find a pattern in it.

Yes, I WAS using global imports...

I just hate to have a mess of import lists in the top of every file.

Well, hopefully this will get fixed...

If you can get a small, reproducible, test case, please post it to bugzilla.
