Modules and Namespaces

From REALbasicWiki

Nested modules cannot contain global elements. Suppose you have Module1, and Module2 inside Module1. If Class1 is a class inside Module2, you cannot set the visibility of Class1 to global, and the IDE enforces this.

The same is true for methods of Module2; their visibility can be public or private, but not global. Unfortunately the IDE does not make this clear. To make it clear, know that you cannot call a method Version of Module2 in either of the following ways.

Version()

Module2.Version

Only the following is legal.

 Module1.Module2.Version

NOTE: As of 2007R1, you cannot name a module Global. Global became a reserved keyword. You can, however, name a module Globals.
