# Modules
-`module` declares the name of a module. While optional it is recommended to use it, at least for documentation purpose. The basename of the source file must match the name declared with `module`. The extension of the source file must be `nit`.
+`module` declares the name of a module. While optional, it is recommended to use it, at least for documentation purposes. The basename of the source file must match the name declared with `module`. The extension of the source file must be `nit`.
A module is made of, in order:
- `private import` indicates a private importation. Importers of a given module will not automatically import its privately imported modules. An analogy is using `#include` in a body file (`.c`) in C/C++.
-- `intrude import` indicates an intrusive importation. `intrude` `import` bypasses the `private` visibility and gives to the importer module a full access on the imported module. Such an import may only be considered when modules are strongly bounded and developed together. The closest, but insufficient, analogy is something like including a body file in a body file in C/C++.
