I'd think so. You can't really have a separate Haab calendar, as a Haab
date contains only "month" and "day"; no "year", which means that a Haab
date does not define one unique day. Tzolkin dates are similar: only
"week" and "day".

Like the Gregorian 'year-month-day' calendar and the 'year-week-day'
calendar, they're separate ways of counting days within the same
calendar system. So you should probably make one module, which
represents the date by the day number in the long count cycle, and
calculate the Haab and Tzolkin names from that.
