Currently, ORB has a special invisible scope for the module SYSTEM. And it has a special treatment like IF modid1 = “SYSTEM“ THEN it links those objects to topscope.<br>
<br>
Currently you can compile<br>
<br>
IMPORT S1 := SYSTEM, S2 := SYSTEM;<br>
<br>
this is because SYSTEM lives in an own scope with name „system“.<br>
<br>
The generalization of it would be that all imported modules (including SYSTEM) are imported into importscope and the special treatment IF modid1=“SYSTEM“ is replaced with a search in importscope.<br>
<br>
Let me see, how I find time to implement this idea...<br>
