digitalmars.D - how to avoid infinite import?

hello, i have two modules, lets say module A and B

------------------------
module A;

import B;

B.func();
------------------------

------------------------
module B;

import A;

A.func();
------------------------

i'm pretty sure that when i compile it,... it never stops compiling from 
the infinite import recursion. Both modules need the functions in the 
other module. How can I avoid this? do i just make it into one module?
Thanks.

Try it. D is smarter than you think :-) Bastiaan.

i have two very big classes that are doing this with global class 
variables. I compile it and it never stops.

ok. well i just found out that it does compile eventually. it just takes 
a really long time. it took so long i assumed it was some infinite 
problem. takes about 10-20 sec to compile a single .d file.

Hmmm... might be similar to the problem DWT is experiencing... except that the DWT compilation eventually crashes dmd with an "out of memory" error.

I don't have D here at the moment, but my project has an import loop and it used to compile. Have not tried the latest releases though. I use private import, but that should not matter much. Bastiaan.
