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. CJL, Dept. of CSCI, IUPUI cjl@Indiana@UDEL-Relay
