It seems a good idea to consult the Ada specifications for the
definition of these new features which don't exist in ISO Pascal
specification than to consult the existent Modula-2 compilers.

For example, When a module is imported the runtime semantics "require"
its initialization part be completed before we can proceed further.
That automatically precludes the loops in the import-export
relation graph. My VAX-VMS Modula-2 compiler from Hamburger
doesn't check this kind of error. I cannot find clear definition
in the Modula-2 manual neither.
